At what time in the day do you read?

[Claire Consterdine]

I read whenever I can - mostly in bed at night but also when having a nice long hot bath though holding up a hard back book can make your arms ache!

I also read when my husband has some sort of sports on the television - though he does insist on giving me a commentry I dont want to hear and then gets annoyed when I dont respond cos I am so engrossed in the book!

I've only recently been able to claw some time & energy back for reading so my book goes wherever I do! I manage a few pages whilst the kiddies have breakfast...a page on the loo sometimes.... I love reading in the bath and always in the evenings/bedtime now. I get an extra chapter a night in at kiddies bedtime too as we're reading 'real books' as my son calls them rather than short stories, so it's not my book as such but I do get to read

[Nici]

I have started reading for around a hour when I get home from work (as well as bedtime). I have 'mums corner' in my bedroom with candles and photos and a lovely wicker chair and I find it really relaxing to sit there and read.

[bookwormmum]

Usually on the bus back & forth to work and on my lunch break.

 

I sometime read at night if I'm not too tired or late and if my son is having some TV time and I don't fancy watching cartoon. I think it's important that he sees me reading.

I read most at night, sometimes in the garden when the weather is good, but nights is best, because it's also quiet and peaceful.

I prefer too read outside,except that never seems to happen.so I like to read by the window in my house 1:00-3:00ish:/

I get too distracted reading outside. I just went and ate lunch by the harbour and then read some of my book but I got worried about all the birds flying around me and over me (you can imagine why!) so I cut it short .

[pastelpanda]

haha! yeah,birds the unabomber! but it's not bombs that are falling.And yes that does tend to give me a scare as well.

I love reading outside but whenever I take the girls to the park I have too much to do, changing nappies, feeding the baby, playing with Katie, eating lunch.

I get up at 5.00 am and do about an hour on my exercise bike, whilst reading a book. Sometimes, and if it's a particularly good book, I can just keep going for about 100 mins. It's good exercise and good reading time! I also read at lunchtime at work, and when I go to bed at night. I also read in the car (but only if my husband is driving obviously!) I'm pretty proud of myself because during September I managed to read 9 books which for me is A LOT.

[~Andrea~]

I read for 30 mins every night (pretty much) before bed and occasional Saturday/Sunday mornings before OH gets up. I also quite often read for 20 mins in my lunch-hour - so there's usually two books on the go, the bedtime/weekend book and the work-lunchtime book.

[technohead]

Just started reading properly and enjoying it! Manybe a short spell when I get in from workm, and before bed every night, and at weekends

[bev]

Anytime i've stopped moving !!! Waiting for the kettle to boil, in the bath, in a queue, and of course the toilet !!

[Charm]

and of course the toilet !!

 

Don't think a lot would admit that! You should have a red face! lol

[bev]

Hmmm maybe I should have kept that to myself !!!! Oh well my secret is now out !!! Although I do feel slightly embarressed !!!!

[Charm]

I would say you're not the only one Just the only one to admit it!

[~Andrea~]

Nah I know lots of people with bookshelves in their loos. It's pretty common. Seems some people are easily shocked

[pipread]

I know a few people with a shelf of books in the toilet as well, I don`t because I`ve got a loo the size of a matchbox!

[Raven]

I`ve got a loo the size of a matchbox!

 

Too. Many. Jokes.

 

Gah!

 

I tend to read late at night, when the traffic outside my flat has died down and everything is quiet.

[Jetpack Comics]

Any time I hit the bathroom!

And before bed. haha.

[Nici]

Every time I try to read at the moment I fall asleep - no matter what time of the day.

[bev]

Perhaps you should try reading something more exciting Nici. Or get more rest !! You've been under a lot of stress this year, maybe your body is trying to tell you to chill out !

[Nici]

Well I'm reading a good book so that can't be it! So yes you are probably right, I need some rest!

[Stephanie2008]

I love reading at night but have a problem with falling asleep. In my head I'm not tired (especially if I'm reading a really good book) but my eyes just please themselves. So now I try to read on the bus going to and from uni. But I have a tendency to get travel sick. I just think my body doesn't like me reading

I have the same problems, can`t read when travelling because I get travel sick, can`t read at night because I can`t keep my eyes open!

Now I try to read when I get in from work and early evenings, seems to work.
