    When/How do you find the time to Read...?

    It seems like every ounce of time I got is taken up by something...

    I haven't read a book on a regular basis in YEARS!!!

    I always wondered how people find the time to read...yes, I'm jealous as hell!!!

    I usually like to be left alone, door shut, no music, and a pile of books (in order of course) next to me...

    ...those days are LONG gone...I'm holding out for retirement in my 60's to regain some of it.

    How about y'all...?

      Sometimes you gotta take your readin' material in to the privy with ya!

      Seriously, I like to read all the time, but usually at night when everyone else goes to bed is when you can get some peace & quiet.

        I'll stay up late and read depending on how tired I am, however it's been slow at work right now so I've been taking books there.

          At work or in the Can.

            I pretty much read every night before going to sleep. I also listen to audio book when exercising. When I commute I could listen to audio books, but I usually listen to podcasts.

              I read before bed, also. I only read a few titles each month, so I can easily knock one out before I get too tired.

                    I am also a Big time reader before Bed ...
                    I read 2to3 books a night about an hr before I go to sleep. It helps me wind down.

                      I really miss taking public transit. It used to give me an hour or so of reading time a day. I love taking trips because I can just sit in the car or the plane and read.

                      I've just got an gimungous pile of stuff that I'm planning on reading. It's easiest to read comics, but I have a huge pile of prose that I usually wait until I'm on vacation to get to.

                        This is me exactly.
                        I used to read like a madman. I haven't finished a book in years, and have only started a half dozen. These days I stick to comic book back issues because they're quick. I wish I had the time to read like I used to.

                          I like TV and movies, but I'd cut either out before they cut into my reading time.

                          Reading is my prime form of entertainment. If I feel deprived of reading time, I shut something else down to make time. It's a balancing act....like the food triangle.

                            In the Toidy room and before bed seem to be the winners here (and Mine), maybe at work if it allows it. i used to sit down and read for a couple of hours, now i try to make 1 chapter before i go to bed.

                              I read right after I get them...doesn't take me long to fly through 6-10 books. Older stuff I read whenever the spirit moves me....during breakfast, while watching TV....whatever....
