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 :D

 

I used to reda at the bus stop as I had about 20 min wait between buses but after the bus drove passed me and I had to wait another 20 I gave that up!

Haha. This sounds like something that would happen to me. I get a bit carried away when I read and it gets to 2 or 3 in the morning and I have to be up at 6. Not good.

I usually read on my way to work and in the evening after dinner.

The evening is my favorite time to read as I can really relax then!

I read in the transports to and from work... 2 and a half hours every day which seemed very very long until I started to take a book with me. Now I tend to linger in the train (my stop is at the end of the line) to finish my page/ chapter :D

 

I also get travel sick if I read in a car or bus though, which sucks when I need to take a long car trip. Luckily I go to work by train and tram.

I read pretty much any time of the day. I do prefer silence when I'm reading but it it's a really great book, I find it doesn't matter how much noise is around me. Unless someone interrupts me :)

I read all different times of the day. Where ever i can snatch some time. If it's a book i love i take it everywhere with me on the off chance i can read it where i am. My favorite places to read are snuggled up on the couch with a cup of tea and my cat curled up on my lap - or in bed. :):D

I tend to read in the evenings, if I'm just reading for the sake of getting through some chapters.

 

When I'm on a book I can't put down, I've been known to stay up all night, or skip class during the day just to get through the book as quickly as humanly possible.

 

I discovered the Twilight series about 4 weeks ago, and sadly, despite the fact that I really think they're poorly written, I love them. I read all four books (1000+ pages) in 3 days. Skipped class, left an essay til the day before it was due, just ploughed through them.

 

=D

I read whenever I have a spare minute as I work from home.

 

When I used to commute to work I would read on the commute to and from and also during any breaks.

I only read in bed at night or early morning, if I try to read during the day I fall asleep!! Up until 5 years ago I read all of Dean Koontz' novels (horror for those who don't know), but I started having nightmares, so changed to crime/thriller and the nightmares stopped. I still have four of his novels unread on my bookshelf waiting for me to pluck up the courage the read them!!

It's important to choose the right time of day for a book. Some books are best read when it's dark! It adds to the atmosphere. I've never had nightmares about a book though, and i usually have vivid dreams. I don't read what you would class horror and i'm realising, even more, that that's a good idea!!:)

Always before bed, but if I'm really into a book I'll bring it to work with me and read over lunch. Otherwise if it hasn't been one of my 9/10 hour work days I'll read anytime when I get home.

I mainly read in evening/night time, though I do carry a book with me when I go out so if I'm ever sat around with nothing to do I can crack it open for a few minutes. I do prefer quiet, but I can read with the TV on if my BF is watching sports or something else uninteresting to me :D

I have to take the subway on the way to university so I always read during that and I usually read in bed before I go to sleep at night.

The last couple days I've been reading morning evening and night. Trying to get through an epic trilogy. Onto book 2 already.

Posted

If I'm at home, the book I'm reading is never far away so I pretty much read at any time of the day or night. I mean, it's nearly 3am and I'm reading now. Well, not right this second, obviously :lol:.

 

:)

I find it really hard to read with others around me for some reason so I can never read when im travelling in the morning or evening! Thats why I always read in the evening at home :)
