You Are Forced To Stop Reading For An Entire Week -- What Do You Do With That Time? (6/1/25)

[Marc]

In an alternative timeline, you are forced to stop reading for an entire week... What do you do instead during that time?

[Henk]

Oh devilish scenario! I would probably prioritise swimming (where I can’t “read” an audiobook) and watching some arthouse movies. I have a MUBI subscription but don’t use it as often as I want, while the movies they have are always thought provoking.

I would avoid going mad by choosing a long distance path to walk . My choice would be somewhere not too challenging as I've to regain my fitness . This is assuming map reading is permissible ?

Jigsaw puzzles. Crossword puzzles (if those are allowed). Other puzzles & games. Walking. Playing with my pets. Meeting friends for coffee or dinner. Going to a movie at a theater. Cleaning & decluttering. Finally getting around to repairing a few things (sewing on buttons, gluing something that broke, etc.).

Count the money I saved.

I would be thinking about the book I was reading and what I might want to read next. :) And maybe catch up on writing some reviews.
