Early morning before leaving for work, at lunch break, evenings, nights before lights-out, weekends.. any time when I have nothing else planned or when I am not at the gym or the pool, or with friends .. whew!
Sometimes I wish there were more hours per day, or that I was a Cullen (of Twilight fame if you missed the punch), so that I won't have to sleep

I tend to read more in summer. I like to sit in the sun and read whereas in the winter im more likely to watch movies and keep warm inside


i could read all day some days n then other days not read at all
it depends on how i feel :D



I agree with Aths. It seems like everyone reads whenever they can sneak it in even if its just a few pages!


Lol sometimes i spend my reading time on here! I just think " i will just check my emails" and then before you know it im engrossed


Wow, that sounds lovely! Wouldn't a camping trip be great for reading?!?!
Oh. That probably defeats the purpose of the trip. :\



My situation is the same, children and a full time job. Maybe I should try audio books. I would probably end up so into the story I would stop what I was doing and sit down and listen.


Nah, I almost always have a book with me, wherever I go, but when I'm outdoors, I tend to get lost in the peace and solitude that being outdoors with loved ones in the middle of nowhere provides.

I can understand that. :) My family used to go camping together and I quite liked it! Sounds like a great time.

I carry my Sony everywhere with me in case I want to read anywhere I am out and about!

Always fun, too bad it's becoming harder to get out.

that's too bad! Why is that?

My new career requires allot more of my time with on call every 4-5 weeks and allot of training out of state [for now anyway:]. Plus with a very active child [makes ADHD kids look slow:] it can be harder. Also we live in eastern MT, to get to the good out door spots it about an 1 1/2 drive just to get their, not like central MT where I can be in the thicket of things in less than 10 min. Plus we're relatively new to the east side so our knowledge of the area is a little choppy. It'll be easier in a few years once we get our foundation for outdoor stuff reestablished here instead of my home town in central MT.



Jo...me too! But I do try to read a little each night before bed...in the summer I read for at least an hour almost every night!
Yeah i like to read before bed too. I can spend a whole day in the garden reading when its summer :)



I take mine to the hairdressers when I am having highlights as it takes so long to be done!


also: the bed, the deck, the dock, the boat ... but I'd have to say my favorite is early morning on the front futon looking out over the lake with my sleeping dogs on either side of me .. so quiet, peaceful & uninterrupted
(I wish I had a garden Jo .. that sounds ideal)


It's been a while since I've read a book that I simply couldn't put down.
Thats impressive! I could never read Deathly Hallows in a day! The only book i have ever read in a day was a short book called Nick and Norahs Infinite Playlist.

Lol i think i read most of the Harry Potter books in big doses but never that big! I felt upset when i finished Harry Potter because i knew there would be no more
