Well, I used to be able to read in the car, but since I drive more now I don't get hte chance very often. I take a book to work and read during lunch and breaks. also read at home on the couch or in bed sometimes. I don't get as many chances to read as I used to, but I still get in my reading time.

May those who love us love us And those who don't love us May God turn their hearts, And if He doesn't turn their hearts, May He turn their ankles, So we'll know them by their limping.
Anywhere and everywhere! Though I don't do so well reading in a car anymore (darned bifocals!)
I'm single and I like to go out to dinner, and most of my friends are becoming hermits. Since I don't much enjoy drumming my fingers and staring into space when I'm waiting for my meal, I bring a book. The poor wait staff often has to talke to me two or three times to get my attention!

It's just about impossible to find me without at least one book in my bag or on my person. I will read in the morning, during breaks, in the bath, at mealtimes, before bed, while I'm supposed to be doing something else... I::heart

"True conformity to the dictates of nature requires reverence for the past and solicitude for the future. 'Nature' is not simply the sensation of the passing moment; it is eternal, though we evanescent men experience only a fragment of it. We have no right to imperil the happiness of posterity by impudently tinkering with the heritage of humanity."

I used to dodn't read many books at all. But over the last couple months I've been reading a lot more. Largely fairly well known Fantasy that I'm getting caught up on. Most of my reading has been done during a couple hours after I'm too sleepy to concentrate on my computer, laying under the covers.
It's been mostly textbooks during my breaks at work for me right now. Otherwise fantasy or historical fiction.

please don't hate me for admitting this...but i'm not big on reading, more of an athletic person! I do enjoy a good Cosmo or people magazine over a hot cup of irish breakfast tea(haenously addicted) and a cigarette!(also, addicted...) sometimes there is also reading to be done on the loo....!!!

lol, no worries, not all of us are readers. I like the athletics too and soon won't have time for much reading. Summer softball/babseball starts next week and with having 3 kids in all different age groups, plus me coaching and my fiance coaching 2 different teams, I won't have time to do much of anything
I love to read! I am able to read something and actually go and put it to use. I go to work 45 minutes early just so I can sit in my office and read before any of my mechanics get there. I taught myself A+ computer technician, machining technology, and now am working on Scot's Gaidhlig by getting to work early. I do like entertainment reading as well- my first book was Robert Henlein "Red Planet" when I was just learning to read and now I usually reserve Sundays for pleasure reading, unless we are going to the mountains or the kid's house. I get up early before the kids so I can read peacefully on the living room couch. After the rest of the family starts filtering in, I'll go out to the patio if it's nice or to my bedroom so the TV doesn't distract me.
I have always demanded, from my family, one hour each night to read without anyone bothering me. They kind of got used to my demands when I was working on my masters.
