When do you do your reading?

November 9th 2006 10:34
For a long time I hardly did any reading. This was solely due to the fact that I was working closer to home.

Now, you might think working closer to home would leave more time to read, but I hardly ever read at home. I find there are too many other things to do, too many distractions, and never enough time.

I do all my reading on public transport.

I don't drive. I don't have a car, I don't have a licence. Most of the time I catch the train to work. I work in all sorts of difference places, it tends to change a fair bit, and so my level of reading is entirely dependent on how far away I am working from home. When I worked in Hornsby (about an hour and forty minutes away from my home city of Penrith), I got a lot of reading done!


Lately, I've been working in Penrith mostly, so I tend to get very little reading done. I've been trying to force myself to read before I go to bed, but this is intermittant and sometimes depends on how engrossing the book I read is.

Do you read? How do you squeeze it into your busy day?

I read before bed, it helps me to go to sleep. Sometimes. Sometimes when I'm up to a really good bit it keeps me awake... but normally makes me sleepy.
I also read if I have nothing to do (eg work or uni) and generally wake up and just read all day, which you have witnessed before. I would not recommend this unless you have food and drink within reaching distance, otherwise you don't feel like getting up and getting it coz you just want to read one more page.. and one more and one more...
Thats all.

You could read yourself to death if the book was good enough and long enough Keira!

Yes... I could... imagine if you did that... would it be painful? I guess would be just starvation and dehydration....
