A lot of people tell me I am weird because I read when I walk to and from work.
It is a good 45 minute walk to get to work and then another 45 minutes from work to home.

I see it as a good investment of the time, one and a half hours that would otherwise be lost!!
Lamp posts and dog poo are my nemeses though! and one time I was nearly run down by a car as I had got so engrossed in my book that I walked into the road without looking :a11:

I do read in more conventional places too btw, like in bed, the bath or in the garden (British weather permitting!).

I'm not coordinated enough to do that... I for sure would be missing teeth if I did that

Was wondering if there were other wacky people out there like me. I read lots of places. In bed, on the couch, outside from time to time, ( love the backyard laying on a blanket on the grass.)but I made myself a reading room in my basement. Its a small room probably 10 by 10. Nothing real special. I just put a nice lazy boy in there. Good lighting. Put some posters and paintings up I liked. ( gotta have at least one lik photograph up) right next to the from a buick 8 poster I surprisingly got that came with the book. A shelf for displaying some cemetery dance books and then shelves for my books. A little library of books I've read. It's away from the TV and seems like I get more out my reading in there compared to other places. Was wondering if any of Yunz have a favorite or special place u do ur reading. Love to here about it!

When I'm at home I always read sitting at the dining room table. When I am away it's usually in the airport or railway
station.
