    When and where is your favorite time to read?

    Save Changes Cancel
    My best time to read is at night. When all the entire house besides me is sleeping and its nice and quiet. Then I have all night to read whatever I want. There is no one to disturb me, no chores that has to be done, and since its so quiet I can concentrate on the book with me, At that time I like stretching out on the bed and sitting under the cover. All I need to do then is to find a comfy position to lay and everythings peachy. It also helps for when I end up falling asleep.

    Anytime I can pick up a book and read is my favorite time. My best time to read for hours is at night when the kids are in bed sure, but I have a 2 1/2 hour block during the week when I take my daughter dancing on Tuesdays. Great time!!! I don't need for it to be quiet to read a book--I just read and everything around me pretty soon doesn't exist. Sometimes it takes a hand placed on my shoulder for me to return to the room. I become the book or character! Drives my husband nuts!

    I carry a book with me 24/7 in hope to find a few minutes to an hour of reading and I even read during the commercials waiting for my shows to come back on. I lose a lot of sleep or should I say I don't require much sleep so nighttime reading is always fun! I am a night owl which helps this habit!!!

    Happy Reading!!!

      Personally, I love to read curled up in a comfortable chair or sprawled out on a long couch. I like to read at night, too; mainly because that's the only time, these days, that I have time to read at all.

      Happy Reading!!!

      I'm so glad to hear that I am not the only one that "becomes" the character in a book!

    I read in the early morning before everyone is up, and again at night before bed. I also read in the car a lot while schlepping my youngest around and waiting for her, especially during car pool waits. In order to pick her up from school I need to be there about 20 minutes early in order to park.
    I am also undergoing chemotherapy, which is seven hours long. Reading makes it less of an ordeal, although this week is my last one because I am officially in remission.

    Reading @ anytime of the day or night is a blessing to me. I find that whenever my husband is driving is the best time to read! Actually when my husband is at the motocross races & I'm having to sit for hours this is my most favorable time to read. With a book in hand you can make new friends, it is easy to get conversation going by asking what are you reading? etc, etc.

    Oh I forgot I love to soak in a hot tub of water with a book in hand!

      Soaking in the tub and reading is the best nighttime or late afternoon reading time. I Love this too!!!! I read while my hubby drives too!!!! I only get to drive when he has been drinking too much[--------he hates to give up control on driving though. When I am driving to the city and other places I have the kids now bringing their books to keep them company. I need to start getting the audiobooks so we can all listen to them instead of the radio all the time.

    I read whenever I get a spare moment but the best time is at night when everyone is sleeping and I have the house to myself. The only bad thing is I tend to stay up way too late because I can't pull myself out of the book. Another good time is in the morning after I drop my daughter off for school and my hubby's still in bed.

    Early morning in MY time. I have a dog who likes to get up around 5am. I can get an hour or two of interruption-free reading. Also, I take a book in my purse whenever I run errands. I can't stand waiting on line without a book.

    I love reading during my long commute to work and back... from the long wait for the carpool to the long ride home (about 1 1/2 hours)... it take my mind off the long waiting time and i could just block out the grid lock. When i get home i have to take care of my kid and husband's needs so i don't get much reading done except for when i'm waiting to load the next batch of laundry in the machine....

    Anytime I have downtime. I sometimes neglect chores becase of it. My wife has material in the bathroom, but I can't read in there.

    I read anytime, anywhere. But I'd have to say that the time I like best is sitting in the sunshine beside the pool in my backyard.

    I can read anywhere, and usually do. I carry a book with me - in my purse - wherever I go. I love having the option to just randomly sit down and start reading. Weather it be on the metro, at lunch, in a park, on my couch or wherever. Such is life.
