Heatwaves and Reading
Is the hot weather (in the UK at least) encouraging you to read more or less than you would usually?
I find I'm "dipping" into things more, especially magazines, given by the end of the day, when I'd usually like to read for a while before lights out, I'm feeling far too washed out to read much. Oh and I am reading more magazines on Kindle now, which was something I never thought I'd do, but I've got on better with it than I thought I would.
Magazine reading is ideal for that feeling washed out to concentrate much scenario, as are short story and flash fiction anthologies. Quick reads when you feel as if your brain has melted are ideal. The literary fiction can definitely wait for when it is cooler!
Looking at my reading patterns over the year, I tend to read more novels over the autumn and winter months. It's not a conscious thing. I suppose you hone in to the fact that with the nights drawing in, now's the time to get on with a good, LONG book!
Meanwhile it's back to the cool drinks and quick reads for me!
