Bright__eyes Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I know this seems a bit of a silly question but where do you read the most ? I generally find myself in the bath for hours reading ha ha. Although now i use my reading glasses a lot more it gets very hard to see through my steamy lenses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carm Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 it's not a silly question bright eyes- you may be surprised at the answers you get!!!! the most productive time for me to read is when i'm held hostage on the nyc subway-i find there are too many distractions at home and i can't really concentrate - carm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisman Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 My favourite time and place is lunch time at work - I work in an electrical store with televisions on all day, so relish the peace and quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty_kitty Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Reading loads on the journey too and from work at the minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ii Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I learned today that I can walk and read at the same time. I even went up a flight of stairs! I kind of freaked myself out with that. And several professors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I don't think I could read and walk like that. I would end up falling about all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angerball Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 ^ Nope, I don't think I could do that either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
March Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 At home: In bed before I go to sleep or on the sofa in the living room. At work: At my desk during lunch time if I stay in. Travelling: On train (we call it the MRT here) rides & on long plane journeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrim Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I envy people who don't get carsick reading. I usually read in bed and I'd probably not get to sleep otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazgul Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 During my free periods at school (about 13 hours a week) I sneak up to the library and find myself a quiet corner by the window. Apart from that, I read in my bed depending on how tired I am or how good the book is. Sometimes I could stay up unitl 3AM or so but other times I could just nod off instantly.

LucyD Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The only time I've ever been tempted to read and walk at the same time was when I was reading The Beach - I just couldn't tear myself away from it! Even on the shortest bus/tube journey, I'd open it up again for a few more pages. These days I am usually pushing along a buggy with my youngest daughter in whenever I walk anywhere - I think I'd be breaking all sorts of health and safety advice if I tried reading at the same time too! My favourite place to read... Good question. Do like the candle-lit bath option (especially with accompanying glass of wine) but at the moment, I'd say curled up on the sofa with a blanket like a.book.in.the.life. Mmmmm...

mattjg01 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I mainly read in bed, but long train journeys are ideal to get stuck into a good book. I always take a book when I go to the doctors or for any other appointment where you are guaranteed to be left waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I always take a book when I go to the doctors or for any other appointment where you are guaranteed to be left waiting Me too. I had the dentist yesterday so I went armed with my book, put lots of time on the car parking ticket and of course because I was so prepared they saw me early!

Guest ii Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I always take a book when I go to the doctors or for any other appointment where you are guaranteed to be left waiting I often find that when you're prepared for the down-time and have something to occupy you with, there isn't any! And when you leave the book/whatever home, thinking you won't need it anyways, you find yourself waiting for something for half an hour, staring at the walls and counting badly dressed people that walk by. It's the whole umbrella-thing all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the whole umbrella-thing all over again. Exactly the case ii. When I go to the doctors, or something like that I am always occupied by Katie, as I was when we spent a couple of hours i hospital with her a few weeks ago and I only got a couple of pages read. Yesterday OH took me out for a driving lesson but neglected to tell me he was going to a few banks in town first! I would have taken my book if I had known. I could come up with loads of these examples. It is part of the reason I am not reading well at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toshmeister Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I tend to do most of my reading in bed although I always take a book to work with me and read it on my lunch break Unsociable Moi?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmellow Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 My favourite place to read is outside on a chair in the morning when there's a thunder storm or it's raining (under the verandah of course). And there can't be sunshine... it needs to be a cool, grey morning. I just find that relaxing... weird, i know ... But as there aren't all that many thunder storms (), i usually read in bed. gah!

NiceguyEddie Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Bed..... But, we have a good-size kitchen/diner & our plan is to turn the dining room into a library of sorts. So when that's done, that will be my favourite place to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
