Booking Through Thursday: 6 September 2007
So, this is my question to you–are you a Goldilocks kind of reader?
Do you need the light just right, the background noise just so loud but not too loud, the chair just right, the distractions at a minimum?Or can you open a book at any time and dip right in, whether it’s for twenty seconds, while waiting for the kettle to boil, or indefinitely, like while waiting interminably at the hospital–as long as the book is open in front of your nose, you’re happy to read?
While I agree that there are some environments that are more comfortable for reading than others, if the book is good, I have no trouble getting lost in it no matter the location. At home, I read a lot in bed, the bath, and on the porcelain throne. Elsewhere? I’ve found it perfectly easy to lose myself in the written word while in class, on a bus or train, on a plane, or sitting in a bookstore, library, or cafe. I didn’t generally bring books to work, however, because I knew I’d lose track of time if I stopped to read, even over lunch.

I can read anywhere except in the vehicles, it makes me giddy! But I have no problem reading in the train though…funny. And I can bring myself to read anywhere near water, I’m too worried about getting the book wet! LOL.
Happy reading!

I have to say that until the children were born, I could read anywhere, for minutes or hours. Now, I am lucky if I get to read an adult book more than a couple of times a year.
Mind you, with my eyes going too, there are at least a couple of reasons!
Michele would have sent me if I hadn’t jumped ahead of your post!
