When do you read?

[charlatti]

Certain times every day? Only some days? In the car? On vacation?




I read every night in bed for about 20-30 minutes or I can't fall asleep. I also usually read for an hour or two in the evenings (when the Olympics are not on -- I've been watching way too much TV lately). Sometimes I read during the day when I have a minute here and there, but that's not every day.

I read whenever I can.

Well, yes. But what does that mean? Can you read all day? Are you attached to your book so you can read at stoplights? The question was a bit more specific, which perhaps was not clear enough.

Lately I haven't been reading much at all. My kindle is in my purse at all times, so if I'm waiting to meet someone, I'll sit on a bench and read.

When I'm in a 'reading mood', I'll often read at night after dinner while DH plays computer games. Sometimes if he wants to watch TV, I'll go upstairs and read in bed.

If I'm really into a book, I'll read at every opportunity - when I'm waiting for a meeting/appointment to start or H to pick me up, when my kids are playing independently/watching TV/asleep, when it's slow at work, etc.

In the summer I usually kick out 30 or so pages right when I wake up while I am hydrating for my run. I like to read a bit in the evening as well, but often times don't get the chance.

This. Usually before bed.

[msmerymac]

While on the treadmill at the gym.

During lunch, if I'm able to take one.

For 30-60 minutes before bed/in bed.

In the car, when my husband is driving.

Sometimes at other times - on the weekends when the house has been cleaned, on my phone while waiting in a long line, etc.


I try to read for 30-60 minutes a day, at least.

[Daria Morgandorffer]

On the train to/from work. After work. Lunchbreaks.

[lemonbasil]

I try to read in bed when I'm alone. Otherwise, it's sporadic while the kids are playing in the park, bad weather and take at home or on a plane.

[lemondrop]

Whenever I can. When I was working, I read at lunch, during breaks and for about 20 minutes before bed. Now that I'm job hunting, my free time has been spent looking for jobs.

I have a major case of the sads about this. :-(

[Dusky]

Pretty much whenever. If I get bored, I grab a book. I always read during breaks at work, and I try to read at least a little bit before bed.

[BlackCanary]

On my days off, I read on and off during the day. I read for a while and then I might switch to watching some tv or going outside and play with the dog. Then I'll read again and resume the cycle.

[charminglife]

On the train to and from work, and before bed.

[ElizabethBennet]

I read after DD goes to bed so I can usually get a couple of hours of reading time, if I'm not being distracted by the computer like I am now.

I also get some reading in while she is napping some days.

[Pippin]

I try to read on my lunch breaks or when the kids are napping. I don't read as much in bed since getting married cause my H doesn't like the light on. Once they come out with a Kindle glow I'll probably start reading more at night.

[blueshirt2003]

I read in the evenings before bed.

[apelila]

At work if it's slow. On my lunch breaks.

At home, in the mornings I'll sit outside and read. At night before bed.. DH finds it relaxing to fall asleep while I'm reading next to him.

I always bring a book with me when I leave the house too, so a few weeks ago I read while having some work done on my car. Or last night while waiting for a friend to meet me at the restaurant.

Pretty much any chance I get!

[duckduck]

Lunch, and in the evenings between run/dinner/chores and bed. Of course I also take advantage of any little snippets of "extra" time that I get-- waiting rooms, lines, breakfast, etc.

I listen to audiobooks on my commute, while running, and when I clean.

[AJL]

I usually read for 30 minutes before going to sleep. I work until midnight four days a week so this has changed a bit.

[whitepicketfence]

I mostly read while the girls are napping and before bed.

[mdgirl]

Mostly on the bus to and from work, sometimes during lunch and breaks at work, and sometimes in the evening after dinner and before bed. I also get a lot of reading done on planes and trips.

[chicacocodrilo]

Mostly on the train to and from work (now that my commute is shorter, the amount of books I read in a month has gone down a little), and I also read for about 30 minutes before bed.
