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 always do it at home. Usually on the couch or in bed.

Your back doesn't hurt in bed after a while?

Actually, that's the place where I'm the most comfortable. If I sit on a bench or something, it starts hurting.

Reading in bed protip: Lie down, then place a plump pillow across your chest/belly. Prop book or ereader on top of pillow (at perfect eye level). Enjoy reading in bed without weird angles for your wrist/neck or tired wrists from holding something for hours.
