When Do You Not Read?

[Félix]

Uh ... well ... maybe not right now, thanks. I think I hear my mother calling me. *runs away fast*

[Morgan]

I'm not reading (much) while I'm at work, at the beach, walking, playing World of Warcraft or watching hours of mind-numbing reality TV. I also have a hard time focusing on reading if I've had a few glasses of wine, but I always try!

Welcome to TC Morgan - as long as you're enjoying yourself when you're not reading then that's OK ;-).

Thanks Jim! I agree! :)

[Michelle]

I love a glass of wine now and then with some Nora Jones or Sade

That sounds like an enjoyable time Michelle.

Larry, Petra, I was just perusing the members page (new title for me! Lg has 6k more comments until the beloved crone returns!) And I se that neither of you have listed a "currently reading"status like the majority of our top posters. Why is that ?

[Suefly]

Ha!
Thanks, I needed a good giggle

Ever read Penthouse Letters while going solo?

I'm enjoying the revivals of threads that existed before I was a member. I can't drink wine and read at the same time. The wine interferes and I can't remember what I read the next day. Perhaps this is where moderation should enter my life.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I can rarely remember what I read the day before whether I was drinking or not.

[Jim]

I'm not sure you always remember who you are from day to day.

*Runs away to read, to avoid sharp sticks*

[Félix]

Someone's going to get an eye put out if they're not careful.

How did this question develope into a discussion on pot/hash???

[Jim]

Stick around here long enough, and this discussion could evolve into almost anything. We're quirky like that.

I had a friend who read everywhere. He loved science fiction so much that he couldn't put a book down, even when taking a shower!

One day he complained that he had a cut on his butt. Apparently he had been shaving in the shower, but reading at the same time (?). When he moved the razor behind him to shake & rinse it, he grazed his ass with it and drew blood.

Though I lost touch with him over the years I'm certain he's still out there, somewhere, reading sci-fi novels.

Mmmm hmmmmm......"when he moved the razor behind him to shake...."

That guy was shaving his butt, Phil.

[Félix]

Bad habit.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Just spend the money and have it waxed.

[evie]

It's only pain and embarrassment.

[evie]

He could read while he's being being waxed.

Better still, if he doesn't want hair on his butt. Go for laser hair removal. It's permanent there for more time for reading.

I'm another one of those people who always has a book with me, even if I'm going to a concert, a play, a party, whatever, I'm always prepared haha.

Sometimes, though, I'll have streaks where for whatever reason the book(s) I'm reading don't appeal, or they're slow going, and I get temporarily unused to my usual reading habits. It's sad when it happens but it does.
