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?

    I’m what I call a seasonal reader - I almost exclusively read during the warmer months on my cute little balcony. I don’t know what it is, but that’s just my perfect setting for reading. I just can’t get myself to read more than a few pages when I’m indoors. A cold glass of water, the warm summer sun and a great book are what I need!

    I mostly read on my ereader before I sleep. How much I read depends on how tired I am or if its getting reeeaally late. I can’t really read during the day because it always feels like there is too much going on even when I don’t really do anything. Reading at night feels so much niver somehow.

    In bed every night on my kindle. Amazon sucks but damn if it isn’t convenient, at least it has kept my reading habit going for years.

      I know it is probably too late now since you’re entrenched, but I went over to a Kobo e-reader because I wanted to get away from amazon.

      I am always reading my Kindle on my breaks and before bed for at least an hour. With reddit not being an option in allowing myself moving forward, I’m sure I’ll be reading even more!

    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.

    I mostly read on my e-reader as well, during the week lunch break at work, and I have set off an hour before going to sleep that I read, no other screens allowed for that time. Over the weekend I usually go find a nice place to sit and read for a bit.

        Reading in bed protip: Lie down, then place a plump pillow across your chest/belly. Prop book or ereader on top of pillow (at perfect eye level). Enjoy reading in bed without weird angles for your wrist/neck or tired wrists from holding something for hours.
