Myself personally I get most of my reading done on my 45 minute commute to work on the bus/train. I also enjoy reading in the mornings on weekends and occasionally in the evening on weekdays.
Another thing I like to do with my wife on the weekend is pick up some lunch and coffee and then read at the park.
Generally carrying my ereader around constantly means that idle moments in public end up getting used to advance in the book I’m reading, instead of purposelessly checking my phone or using social media. I think I read a post on here in another thread where someone else has had the same experience.
What about y’all? Any rituals? Do you play music?
On weekdays, mostly in bed before going to sleep.
On the weekends, I do longer bike rides and take my E-Reader. I listen to audiobooks while riding and then stop at a nice spot in the shade and just read for an hour or two before I move on to the next spot or ride back home.
This sounds just lovely
It is. :) It actually started way back when I was still in school. I suffered from pretty severe depression, but being a teenager I thought I had to deal with it by myself and I didn’t talk to my parents. Instead, I would skip school, take my bike and just ride off into the forest and just read all day.
Back then it was classic escapism, really.
I’m mostly better now, was in therapy for a bit and while I still have some bad days, the habit of doing this to hide away from the world has morphed into something I do just because I love it, not to get away from something.
