Myself personally I get most of my reading done on my 45 minute commute to work on the bus/train. I also enjoy reading in the mornings on weekends and occasionally in the evening on weekdays.
Another thing I like to do with my wife on the weekend is pick up some lunch and coffee and then read at the park.
Generally carrying my ereader around constantly means that idle moments in public end up getting used to advance in the book I’m reading, instead of purposelessly checking my phone or using social media. I think I read a post on here in another thread where someone else has had the same experience.
What about y’all? Any rituals? Do you play music?
Music helps me keep doing something if I can’t focus at the moment; when I can, I always prefer silence when reading.
I usually read before sleep and sometimes randomly during the day. Seasonally, I find myself reading more in periods of increased stress, e.g. exam sessions.
While I like the feel of paper books, they’re rarely as practical as a mobile app (on Android, I’m using PocketBook), especially when you can make unlimited notes in your books and search them quickly.
Interesting, does reading provide a calming effect or escape from your stress for you?
