its just occurred to me that since i stopped my daily commute to work (i now work locally for the time being) that i no longer read!

i used to absolutely love my reading time on the train. hated the commute but loved my read. i got through more books in that year than any other time in my life, and i really am missing it but i no longer seem to be able to find the time to just sit for an hour a day and read.

cant read in bed as DH works nights and goes really early. if im down stairs im either on here or doing housework.

when do you all find the time to read?

I read in bed or in the bath. Since my youngest started FT school and as I only work PT I have also discovered the luxury of reading in the garden on a sunny afternoon...

Anywhere and anytime - except in cars/on buses, as it makes me sick.

Mostly in the bath every evening but also on trains, in the loo, in a chair when dp and the girls are watching crap on the television etc etc. I read books and ignore the housework, basically!

In bed.

In the bath.

When I'm eating breakfast.

Sometimes in the evening.

I am an extremely fast reader and can get through a normal sized book in a day or two, although I have to reread several times to get full details. A really good book will have me ignoring housework/tv/even Mumsnet ().

I love reading.

I struggle to find the time. In theory I read when I go to bed but in reality go to bed too late to stay awake for more then a couple of pages

Read in the bath in the morning.

Used to read on the bus but not working atm.

Read in bed if i get there first

Sometimes read in the evening but more often on internet or ironing while watching TV.

Agree commute great for reading.
