Rawr Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I love reading whilst travelling, i actually remember finishing Stephen King's 'Dark Tower' series whilst riding in a car. Quote
Heather Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I love reading in the car while on long journeys Quote
Nessicle Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I can read on a bus but not in the car although if the bus is winding down rounds it does make me feel a bit sick lol Quote
Kenny Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 It makes me ill but I would do it if it didn't. Quote
Maureen Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I can read while on the move, including cars, planes, etc. Me too. I even used to read while riding (pillion) on a motor cycle. ....and I have (somewhere) photos to prove it... Quote
Lucybird Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Wow really reading while on a motorcycle Quote
lexiepiper Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I get a bit uncomfortable reading when in the car, but still do it anyway just to pass the time Quote
Ben Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Me too. I even used to read while riding (pillion) on a motor cycle. ....and I have (somewhere) photos to prove it... Wow. Quote
Chimera Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Me too. I even used to read while riding (pillion) on a motor cycle. ....and I have (somewhere) photos to prove it... Now that would be something to submit for the book day photo competition! Quote
leah86 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I'm a really bad traveller i general. There's no way I would be able to read on a bus,boat or in a car,I get way too nauseous. Funnily enough I'm absolutely fine on a plane,I can read to my hearts content. Seven hour flight to New York was pure bliss! Quote
DanC_84 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Personally I cannot read when moving full stop. It is incredibly frustrating as I work in the City and spend at least an hour a day on the bus, so I could get plenty of reading done. I have tried I just cannot do it. After 2 or 3 minutes I have a horrible head ache and feel like I am going to throw up. The plane is not so bad with the exception of landings and take-offs. Quote
Inver Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 It makes me ill but I would do it if it didn't. How can you play your DS then when you are in the car?? Can't really read in the car and even reading maps isn't a bit:irked: Trains, buses and planes etc OK though. Quote
pipread Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I can`t read when travelling by road, if I try to, I very soon feel sick and have a pounding headache. I have to travel with the windows open and look into the distance, then I`m fine. It`s a waste of precious reading time though. Quote
Weave Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I am quite lucky, I can read anywhere, I just switch off, I can also sleep standing up Quote
Cadenza Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 II can also sleep standing up I have to say i've never tried! Interesting idea though ... Quote
Kylie Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Those bands didn't work on me either - they just dug into my wrists and hurt me eventually! The bands work for me. I used to take medicine, which would knock me out in about 10 minutes and I would sleep for hours. Then I tried the bands and they work just as well only they didn't make me sleepy Quote
whitegold Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I never feel sick reading in the car. I love it, it makes the travel time go by much faster. Quote
bethany725 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I love reading during any mode of travel! I'm blessed with some ability to avoid motion sickness completely, so I love to read on subways, cars, planes, trains, etc.. It passes the time so quickly! Quote
frankie Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Sorry for off-topicing but whenever I see this thread, Roxette's Sleeping in My Car starts playing in my head and it's getting quite annoying On topic. I usually never get to sit in a car anymore nowadays so I haven't been able to test whether I'll get sick from reading in one, but I'm betting that I would However, lately I've been able to read while I'm in a bus which is a huge improvement.

Ruth Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I can read in a car, but only for 10 minutes bursts. And never when I'm the one driving:D Quote
Chrissy Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I can read in a car, but only for 10 minutes bursts. And never when I'm the one driving That made me chuckle! Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 There's nowhere I can't read, transportation wise, anyway. Quote
Lucybird Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 My mum said yesterday that adults don't get car sick...I think a lot of us prove her wrong Quote
Kenny Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 How can you play your DS then when you are in the car?? I don't realy read it that much only little bits. Quote
