How do you read?

[Mara]

I listen to book.

[Tammie]

i read in the night time

[Cameron]

all the time

[Ally]

I read with physical books only. I read at all times of the day, all day pretty much.

I read on and off whenever I'm free, day or night. :)
My biggest obstacle is getting heavy eyes while reading.

No, I prefer quiet when I'm reading.

[Rawan]

hello! :) I like reading in a quiet place and highly prefer actual paper books to pdf's

[Nina]

I prefer paper books too!

I love reading in bed too, but I also read pretty much anywhere.

Does your dad also read while you're in the living room? My family reads like that sometimes.

[Amie]

I read anywhere! Usually on my iPad or kindle. My favorite place to read is sitting on my wicker couch in our screened in porch with my fur babies listening to all the sounds of the outdoors.

[martin eden]

I can read anywhere, anytime! I don't like wasting time doing nothing, so I always have a book with me. I love to read in my bed, but I also like to read in public transports (even for a few stations).
I prefer paper books. I like holding a book, feeling and smelling (and when I was small even tasting!!) the paper.

[Maria]

I read everywhere too, even during boring classes, hidden between some textbook. But, the place I love the most for reading, is at the beach

Anytime really. Probably mostly during the day since my creative juices flow better at night and that's when I like to write.

[Lisa]

Preston wrote: "no (give books away or donate)

Do you dog ear a page?"

That's sacrilege. Just kidding. I only dog ear a page when there aren't any of my bookmarks handy.

[Lisa]

Yes, guilty. I LOVE LOVE LOVE hardcovers. They are actually my preference. I don't like ebooks. I need something tangible, that i can touch and yes even smell.

Preston wrote: "no. I get another cup of tea that is mine.

[Lisa]

Do you collect old and slightly rare books?

[Nina]

My favorite place to read right now is on my living room couch, because I can stretch out and it's the most comfortable. I used to love reading in my attic library, but the futon was putting my back out.

[A.K.]

I usually read until I lose interest and then move to another book. It sort of feels like dropping in and out of time lines. I like to think of myself as a literary time traveler.

[Sharlene]

I like to read in a quiet place that allows me to get fully immersed in a good book. I prefer to read a novel in print, however, my E-reader makes it easier to read books when I'm travelling on the train etc.

[Jeremy]

I like to read with my headphones on, listening to zen music in my recliner ^_^

[Wolf (Alpha)]

I like to read in my recliner and listen to music.

[Ruthie]

I like to read in the left lounge chair (in the lounge room funnily enough :)) or in bed at night time before I go to sleep. Hearing rain and / or having a cup of tea at hand is an added bonus that I love. :)

[Mara]

I listen to audiobooks!!!!!

[Kristi]

I read one book at a time. If it's very interesting, I've be known to stay up very late to finish it!

[Derek]

Whenever I have the time, I read. Sometimes it's alone in a bar.

[Nina]

Has anyone ever tried reading in in the bathtub? It seems like it would be the ultimate way to relax, but it's not because I spend too much time trying to keep the book from getting wet.

[Thuraya]

I go to school with the school bus and I like to read in the 40 minutes that we spent in the bus during the way to school or from school to my home . Also I enjoy reading before sleep and if I have any free time then I'll spend it reading :)

[Thuraya]

Also I only read physical books and I like to read one book at a time

[Hallie, I'm all about the books]

I'm never going to manage keeping it from getting wet if I try!

[Kayla]

I usually read 3 books at once, something small, something for fun and something off of a list I'm trying to conquer. Usually different genres so I don't get mixed up and usually mixed between my kindle and physical books

[Nihar]

I've recently started listening to audiobooks a lot since I drive often, but I also like reading actual books when I'm sitting down and I have free time to read. I'm also the type of person who likes to just focus on one book at a time, rather than reading multiple different books all at once.

Same here!

lol there is just too many books I want to read in this lifetime to settle for one book at a time.

That sounds very relaxing!

I agree with you two, that sound so cozy and relaxing! A lounge chair sounds awesome, but my appartment certainly is too small for one. It would only fit into the hallway, but it has no windows and still ist kind of empty (I recently moved in and don't have enough furniture). So I mostly read on the sofa (it has like a slope on the left side, that's awesome) or in bed. But I tend to fall asleep very quickly and then wake up in the middle of the night, lights turned on and my neck aching...

[Magda]

I can only read one book at a time.

I have a Kindle but at the moment i am back in love with the physical book.

I read day or nigh time,but find it difficult when the tv is on, I cannot read in a car or during a flight.

I can only read a book once, however good the book is, unlike my husband and daughter who can re read .

I like my place on the sofa..with a cuppa and my toy poodle Hollie curled up beside me.

Reading in bed makes me very sleepy which annoys me as I want to read more!...

[Nina]

I relate! I can read on a plane though. Usually I'm on my sofa reading with my cat curled up beside me. I love the physical book, and like to collect them like trophies on my bookcase.

[Mara]

I listen to audiobooks. I'm not much of a Kindle reader. Except for Wynsync once in a while.

[Eliza]

I read anywhere and everywhere. If there’s ever a dull moment in life: waiting in line, waiting on someone else, basically waiting at all, I read. I also love to read at night when things are quiet. I don’t like wasting time, so if I can read to limit idle time, I do. I like to read both eBooks and physical books. Reading eBooks are nice because I can just pull out my phone and start reading no matter where I am. It also makes it easier when traveling. I used to pack 5+ books whenever I went somewhere, even if just for a few days, but now I just pack one physical book and keep my phone handy.

[Heather]

Audiobooks, Hardcover books, Kindle books. Between the three, my life is a steady emersion of books!

[Lori]

I read whenever I can.whether it's day or night

[Anna]

Yes, me too

[D20]

Kindle and paperback mostly, some audio.

[Kachina]

I can't seem to stick with ebooks, so it's physical copies for me. I especially like mass market paperbacks because of their portability and less feelings of guilt for bending spines and pages. Audiobooks are also great for time spent in the car.

[Mara]

I basically listen to AUDIOBOOKS. Once in a while I read a book on Kindle.

[Marisa]

Hmm audio books seem to be gaining in popularity ... maybe because we are all busy but still want to enjoy the journey a book takes us on whilst travelling to and from work whether driving or on a train, etc. I am a hard copy type of person but have used a kindle every now and then. As a debut author who has had a handful of requests for the book to be converted to an audio book, is this something this group would recommend spending money on - that is creating audio books?
