My job involves reading, writing, and communicating with people, and so my husband always makes the assumption that I'm working -- even when I'm goofing off. It's sort of brilliant. If I have my Kindle or laptop in front of my face, if he hears typing, he assumes I'm being productive.
He wouldn't care if he knew I was just slacking off -- but he is just less likely to interrupt me this way.
We both love taking our Kindles to breakfast and reading as we dine, with the silence only being punctuated by one of us sharing an interesting tidbit, or reacting to the shocking development in whatever we're reading.
Bathroom doesn't work, I'm never in their long enough. But I do read in the
bathtub. (There's a difference.)
"No time to read" tends to mean that reading is down on the priority list -- there's some other activity or activities they value more, and so this one falls by the wayside.
