This week's Musing Mondays asks:
Do you have a set reading time (before bed, perhaps)? Do you read more at night or during the day? Is there a day of the week, perhaps, that you set aside to catch up on reading
I normally read while commuting to/from work, which is about two hours a day. While this is more-or-less okay, it gets tough if I'm reading a page-turner, or, if I really want to finish the book. If I have enough time to play with in the morning, sometimes, I find myself wandering over to a cafe, to read while having my morning coffee. Other times, I just keep giving my book wistful glances through the day...
Normally, I enter work, listening to music, my eyes glued to a book. While reading, I shrug off my overcoat, and pull out my ear phones, completely oblivious to the people around me 'til I finish the page/chapter. One morning, one of my colleagues greeted me with a 'Morning, how goes' about three times, before I even acknowledged him. I was slightly embarrassed!
I read a fair bit over weekends, and try and read a bit before sleeping, every night. However, sometimes, I'm too tired to think, and just want to slip into dreamland, as soon as my head hits the pillow.
I guess, for an avid reader, I don't read as oft' as I'd like to. I do try and make up for this during my vacation days, where I get through a book a day (obviously depending on the location, and the books I'm carrying). Just re-reading this post, and I feel quite guilty. I really should set aside some more time for reading. Oh well...
How about you? When do you read the most? And where? Do you occasionally find that you have to make more time to read? Or, are you happy with the time you devote to reading?
