The Best Times for Reading
Do you have a preferred reading time?
My book reading tends to be reserved for bedtime. Am currently loving dipping into a huge book by Classic FM of classical music facts and figures (the people as well as the musical numbers!).
I love reading magazines (especially writing ones) while having my lunch. As for holidays and travelling on trains etc., the Kindle comes into its own.
I like to mix up books and magazines, short stories/flash collections and novels, print reading and electronic reading. I like to see it as keeping my hand in!
But the best time for reading is really any time you can.
What does reading do for us? Well, it entertains, it educates, it takes us away from our troubles for a while, and we can explore this world.

We can explore other worlds and worlds which might exist in a parallel universe. We can go back in time thanks to historical works (fiction and non-fiction) and we can go forward as well thanks to science fiction.
We can follow real people’s lives in biographical works and made-up people’s lives across the wonderful vastness of the fictional genres.
Writers take in what works in stories as they try to write their own.
Characters reflect what we know about ourselves. It can be eye opening at times too.
