Does anyone read at work?

I only get 30mins, but go and sit in my car on my own; munch and read. I grab every quiet moment like this that I can to read. I try to support my fellow indies.It also gives my brain a pleasant change of thought (other than work).
:)
Thats a good idea. You must not live where its too hot to sit in the car until November or so. :pWhat do you enjoy reading?
Tee hee; I live in the UK, and have a convertible car, so the roof goes down when it's hot (bit of sunbathing at the same time) ;) I read all sorts, but mainly romance stuff (as that's what I write it tends to be what I attract).
I try to support other indies by reading their work, and then have a few guilty pleasures of my own.
Does it count if you listen to audiobooks?? If so then HECK YES! LOL
Of course it counts! Any form of reading counts in my book. :p
on my lunch hours and travelling to and from I listen to audio books.

Lunch breaks- I get to get lost in a fantasy world for 30 minutes :)
I just recently got a job and I believe I have a fifteen minute break so I'll probably spend it eating my food and checking my phone lol. Although if reading notifications on Goodreads and checking e-mails counts then yes I will be reading at work :)
im blessed in that part since im work in a library and between the week when we have few customers they let us read books
I read during meals and during work breaks. Not at or during work though. I work for myself and my boss is a stickler about keeping my nose to the grindstone. ;-)
I used to read while I was flying at night. No autopilot in the airplane. I got pretty good at fitting my book into my instrument scan when the weather wasn't too bad. My current job is a bit too involved now though ;)
I substitute teach and if I end up with a planning period with nothing to do for anyone, papers to grade, other plans to carry out, OF COURSE I read. I always have my phone and usually an e-reader with me. Often I also have books in my car. I also carry a crochet hook and yarn at all times.:-)

I'm curious to see if anyone reads at work on breaks or during lunch. The pharmacy I work in will be closing 30 minutes later starting today which will extend our lunch break to an hour. I don't need that much time to eat, so Ive been deciding what else to do. Why not bring a good book and read!?
Do you like to read at lunch? Do you stay in your office or read around others? Let me know! I need suggestions too!!
