Long commutes and a job in education and adult entertainment. No TV at home...a bit too much internet though

Really not so much spend too much time in junk TV shows.
Manage to finish Angel & Demon from beginning to the end, and have some books stuck in the middle and never picked up.

I've got a 1.5 to 2 hour train commute, so extra sleep in the morning and read on the way home. Weekends and evenings at home are for the family and getting stuff done around the house.

Sons and Lovers - D.H. Lawrence
The Road - Cormac McCarthy
No Country for Old Men - Cormac McCarthy
Homer and Langley - E. L. Doctorow

1) Not long commute, but usable one--25-35 minutes, twice a day, every weekday;
2) No, I don't watch TV at night. Husband does; I read.
3) Always always always have PRS-505 with me; I read in the line at the cafe, while walking to the bus, during long elevator trips.
4) I read fast. 100+ pages/hour for fiction was my standard rate for years, but I think I read faster now.

Combination of no family in the area, no children, no television, a husband who is very understanding and a mildly compulsive nature.

My long reading list is due to sitting for hours in my own business waiting for customers to pop in. This year has been extremely quiet as far as tourist went.

Nah, practically no TV for me. I sincerely think that books are way better entertainment than TV!

And I think that both have their place...reading novels & watching TV is entertainment. I love to read, and I love TV!

I like both too, but it's my husband that can't be in a room unless the TV is on... Ugh
