When, where and how do you read? (beehaw.org)

Myself personally I get most of my reading done on my 45 minute commute to work on the bus/train. I also enjoy reading in the mornings on weekends and occasionally in the evening on weekdays.

Another thing I like to do with my wife on the weekend is pick up some lunch and coffee and then read at the park.

Generally carrying my ereader around constantly means that idle moments in public end up getting used to advance in the book I’m reading, instead of purposelessly checking my phone or using social media. I think I read a post on here in another thread where someone else has had the same experience.

What about y'all? Any rituals? Do you play music?

I find the best moments to be during breakfast with a cup or two of coffee, and before bed.

Where I live access to books is either through Kindle or Paperback, and my wife has rights over the bookshelf, so I stick to the kindle.

What kind of books does she stack the bookshelf with? Or is it even being used for books?

Oh she reads exponentially more than I do, and quite a lot of interesting national books that I want to read too, IF ONLY I COULD BURN THROUGH MY BACKLOG :(
