I have used reading to escape from bad situations since I was a child. That did me well when I was in school (and I was in school until I was 25). Now I use reading to shut off everything around me - even if it isn't bad. So when I am in bed, or on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I get completely absorbed by a book. Unfortunately, it is baseball season, and I am a huge fan, and watching a game is incompatable with reading. But it is compatable with knitting, so I use the summer to achieve my charity knitting goal, and the winter, spring and fall for reading.
