Maureen Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Do you read more in winter cuddled up under a blanket on the sofa? Or while relaxing in a nice hot bubble bath? Or is the beach the place where you are lost in bookland while getting a nice tan? Does your reading time vary from season to season?

Icecream Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I like to read in the summer outdoors under a tree, or while the kids play or by a lake or something, and you can read outside till quite late too. I know my mood changes in winter, like a lot of peoples, but I do not think my reading changes much. It is more lifestyle, like being a student and having to read text books that does it..

Lilywhite Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 It doesn't matter to me, winter or summer, I usually have my nose stuck in a book lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I'm constantly to be found with my nose buried in a book, no matter what the season. in the winter, I'll curl up under a duvet, or on the sofa, or soak in a hot bath with a good book. in the summer, I'll sit outside under the shade of a tree, or sprawled on a blanket lain over a patch of grass, engrossed in another world. It makes absolutely no difference to how much I read, but sometimes it affects my choices - if a book has a wintery theme, I'll usually read it in te colder months (e.g. The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe is a winter book for sure, & I read Chocolat for the 1st time this year during Lent, which is exactly when the book is set).

Angel Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I'm usually found with a book all year. Even on the beach when everyone else swimming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 It matters not to me come rain or shine Or me, on a deckchair or under a blanket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 It makes no odds to me. I read all year round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jake Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 It usually wouldn't matter to me what time of year, but I've found that I haven't read as much fiction over the last few months as I normally would. I've probably read more academic related books (even more than normal when studying) these past few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassenach Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I mostly read in bed so the time of year doesn't make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I'm the same.. most of my reading these days is in the car waiting to pick up Beth, in the bath, and in bed. However, there are some winter days when I'll get some extra reading done, whereas in the summer I tend to be out more. I don;t get to read on the beach, 'cause I'm too busy keeping my eye on the girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiccibat Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Definitely a winter activity for me,summer I'm too busy, when Adrian comes out we do a lot of swimming,and I like to meet up with friends who have children he can play with. This year we plan to go camping at Tarifa. I also find reading in the sun gives me headaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acesare* Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I read every night in bed before I go to sleep, and I read while travelling (to work, or right now to the doctors or physio). I'm beginning to realise that I don't do much reading for entertainment, I'll usually watch TV, a DVD or stick on a cd and prance about! Now that it's summery and I have a garden I think I'll sit out under the tree and read, especially now that I have more reading options!

Sugar Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I read most in the bath - but I have hot baths in the winter, and cool baths in the summer (but don't tell the water board!). I read anywhere else as well - on public transport - and while waiting for it, in my lunch break, on the beach, in bed, on the loo!...you name it, I'll pretty much read there!

Sarahrob Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I read most in the bath I used to love reading in the bath, but the bathroom in this house is tiny so we had the bath ripped out and a shower installed. Now I read anywhere: sprawled on the floor, on a sofa, on a deckchair, in bed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margo Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I guess I read more in winter, as I'm usually out doing stuff in summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Definately the summer as I like to sit in the garden with a good book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Stark Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I don't mind to be fair. Though reading on top of the mountain near my house or under a tree in summer is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyGrayUK Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 In the winter, as after school there's not much time to do much else before it gets too dark (although I'll still visit waterstone's to get a new book!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirstykat Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Weirdly, I find it difficult to read books about hot countries, summer time etc in the winter and vice versa. Yes, I know, I am weird!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Time of year makes no difference to me - I read every moment I get a chance regardless of the weather or season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
