Reading in Hot Weather
Currently in the UK as I write this (8th August 2020), most of the country is experiencing a heatwave (30+degrees C.
Yes, yes, I know! I can think of several places where that would be considered to be on the cold side!).
But give me the fact most of us here are finding it hot!
So do you find it easier to read in hot weather, given most of us are not going to feel like doing that much?
Or do you find it harder to read because what you really want is to cool off and reading in itself isn't going to do that?
Or do you welcome reading because it's a great distraction from feeling too hot?
I find it easier to read magazines and the shorter form of fiction when I'm finding the weather a bit much. Now is not the time to tackle War and Peace I think!
So over to you then! What do you prefer to read when the thermometer is on the crazy side? What would you recommend?
