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?

    Ereader is great for reading in idle moments. Unfortunately mine lives at work currently (for reading scientific papers). At one point I read while my kids were listening to an audiobook in the evening. I could get a nice amount of extra reading done that way even though it takes some extra concentration.

    Usually I read when the kids are in bed, but it’s a bit hard when there are other competing things to do like talking with my partner or watching something. I’m trying to learn from my daughter who just reads during any spare moment in the day, and she has read so much this spring.

      Yeah reading in spare moments is definitely the way to go, can confirm. How come you don’t just bring your ereader everywhere? Or if it’s not actually yours, buy one for yourself?
