Where and when do you normally read?

shahvikram123 · 10-08-2013, 12:14 PM

I kind of got off reading for a good 8-12 months due to my Masters course and me just being so busy. However, I've now sold my Kindle 3 keyboard and bought a kindle paperwhite (the new one).

bit of a weird question but just wanted to know where people read? like on the train to work, in bed before going to sleep, anytime during the day etc. and How many hours average per week?

During the week: in my lunchbreak at work, and in bed in the evening. Probably around 2-3h/day on average in total. At the weekend, I rarely read during the day (too busy with other stuff), but still read in bed in the evening. On my holidays I read a lot.

Tizzalicious · 10-08-2013, 12:21 PM

Every night in bed before sleep, when I'm traveling by train (I wish I could read on the bus but I get sick when I do) and most days in the evenings and while taking work breaks (I run my own webshop, so basically whenever I want to take a break).

Mostly in bed or while eating. However, I listen to audiobooks all the time; when driving, doing laundry, etc.

The majority of my reading is in the living room in the comfort of my recliner or in the car while waiting to pick up my daughter at school. As for when, mostly the latter part of the afternoon.

Mostly in bed before going to sleep. But also during any down-time I might have at work, or if I'm at home and doing nothing else, I love sitting in my bean bag (bought specifically for this purpose!) next to the window in my room with the sunlight warming me while my dog sleeps at my feet. Sometimes its the simple things in life that can give you the most pleasure

During breakfast, with extended coffeetime on weekends
At lunch break at work
In the evening in the living room

Listening to audiobooks while driving alone

I have a cybook always with me. when commuting, on holidays...

And a kobo on my night stand, to read in my bed.

PurpleStar · 10-08-2013, 01:42 PM

I read any time of day, at home, but usually in the mornings or evenings. If I'm out and about, I'll take my Kobo to read on the bus, or waiting at the doctor's office and what not.

I am disabled so I'm home most of the time. I read a lot! I read ebooks and audiobooks.

I read in my recliner in the living room. I read on the back patio. I read in the tub. I read in bed before sleep. I take my Kindle with me when I leave the house. If I have to wait anyplace, I read.

If I am doing laundry, dishes, driving, etc, I have my audiobook going. After I put down my Kindle in bed at night, I start the audiobook up and go to sleep with that book.

Guess you can say I read a LOT!

piperclassique · 10-08-2013, 02:07 PM

Anywhere I am. As long as it's compatible with anything else I happen to be doing. I can read and knit at the same time. Audiobooks at mealtimes, when gardening or driving.

shahvikram123 · 10-08-2013, 02:18 PM

Wow, everyone on here reads sooo much! I only read before I go bed. For like 30-40 mins! LOL

CWatkinsNash · 10-08-2013, 03:00 PM

At home, usually, because I never really go anywhere. In my chair or in/on my bed. I haven't been reading at all lately, though.

DiapDealer · 10-08-2013, 03:02 PM

In the library with Miss Scarlet and the rope.
