Literature

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'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 read during my breaks or when i have nothing to do pretty much anywhere its why i personally prefer digital books over physical ones

I read ebooks almost exclusively (aside from graphic novels), and while I could take my kindle anywhere I feel most comfortable reading at home. I frequently read in bed after I wake up and before I sleep. Scrolling social media in bed is/was one of my bad habits; I see I'm not alone in picking up a book instead of giving my time to twitter/reddit/youtube.

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.

I always read on my Kindle now. If I think I will be somewhere for a while, like at the hospital or a restaurant (sometimes they can take ages to bring food) then I'll take it with me so I can read there too.

Most of the time I read at home though.

Honestly, this has been the best part about moving to a city where public transit is the norm. My commute is longer. It used to take me 15-20 minutes to drive somewhere, while now I generally budget an hour to get places. Still, most days I prefer the hour of relative calm where I can escape with a good book to the stress of being stalled thirty honking cars deep on the highway.

It’s definitely made me appreciate the escapism of books more, though! Specifically enjoying sci-fi and romance novels much more. A couple recent favorites were The Sparrow and Red White and Royal Blue

I've been dealing with a chronic illness and for some reason reading was one of the activities that really took a hit.

I still keep a book with me in my backpack, so if I'm on the move I'll eg. read on the subway or if I have lunch away from home. In the summer I also used to love just setting up my hammock somewhere like the central park here in Helsinki (which is basically a 10km long strip of forest and not so much a park park) and getting lost in a book.

I also read in bed before going to sleep (my bed's pretty wide and one side usually has at least two books on it 😅).

I'm staunchly in the "physical books" camp nowadays. I used to have a Kindle and read pretty much constantly, but I realized that I didn't remember what I read half as well as I did when I read paper books – something about how it's easier for me to eg. remember where in a book something happened when I can physically feel "how much book I have left" if that makes any sense.

I go through phases where I'll read more than others. At the moment I'm getting 3-5 hours in a day counting commute, lunch breaks and before bed. I also enjoy heading out to the woods on the weekend and getting a couple hours in there.

I own a lot of books. There's a used book store near my house where I get them cheap. Every night before I go to sleep I try to read a chapter.

My most common reading times are during my lunch break at work and before work if I wake up earlier than I need to be awake. But other than that, I just read in little bursts throughout the day when I have free time.

I prefer eBooks over physical books because they're easier to hold, have adjustable font sizes and themes, and I don't need a light to read. This is nice when reading before bed so that I can read my book in the dark, with light text on a black background. It's also nice that I can read practically anywhere since I almost always have my phone or some other device on me.

I don't play music when reading. I prefer a quiet environment.

I always do it at home. Usually on the couch or in bed.

I have a lot of physical books and e-books, and I switch between them. Mostly it's reading on my Kindle app on my phone or my Kindle Paperwhite, especially if I'm reading a library book or a KU/Prime Reading book to make sure the author is getting their percentage. I also have the Kobo app and have the new Kobo plus subscription.

I've already read 52 books this year, as I don't work outside the home, and it doesn't take ages to keep house. Before bed is a prime time to read, and whenever I can fit it in during the day. I've been making myself read instead of social media this year when I'm waiting in public.

Just got back into reading after not doing it for a few years. Right now it's on an app (moon reader) on my phone. Mainly because I downloaded 20 000 leagues under the sea on project Gutenberg. Found myself reading a lot during slow moments at work. Otherwise I prefer to read a physical book before bed or on the balcony.

Mostly either Moonreader on android or an older kindle 5 during the daily commute.

I find the best moments to be during breakfast with a cup or two of coffee, and before bed.

Where I live access to books is either through Kindle or Paperback, and my wife has rights over the bookshelf, so I stick to the kindle.

I carry my ereader around with me and read when I have time mostly. Sometimes its in the morning while I'm having my coffee, other times its later at night while I'm winding down. I usually don't listen to audio while reading unless my partner is watching TV before bed. Then I'll listen to the noise generators on mynoise.net to block out whatever they're watching.

Music helps me keep doing something if I can't focus at the moment; when I can, I always prefer silence when reading.

I usually read before sleep and sometimes randomly during the day. Seasonally, I find myself reading more in periods of increased stress, e.g. exam sessions.

While I like the feel of paper books, they're rarely as practical as a mobile app (on Android, I'm using PocketBook), especially when you can make unlimited notes in your books and search them quickly.

Long train trips and subway rides are pretty ideal. Mainly since they get rid of that nagging sense of whatever other things I "could be doing" in those moments (going to the gym, practicing an instrument etc)

When I read varies. Mostly whenever I want to relax. Could be before bed, early in the morning, at a park, at the beach, on the couch.

I pretty much exclusively use an ereader. I have access to hundreds of books in my library in an instant and I've found it either to get books digitally than a physical copy. Plus, the ereader (using a kindle) has things a paperback can't do. You can read at night with low or no light, you can highlight a word, phrase, name and get a definition or Wikipedia page, even a translation. You can search within the book. I do this if I want to go back to a certain scene or I forgot who a character was. It's also easier for me to hold, I don't have to keep a page open, just hold the little tablet in my hand.

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.

Do audio books count? If so, on my commute.

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.

Do you count audiobooks? I've been falling asleep to audiobooks for 15+ years. I'll also read print books while preparing for sleep, but not with the absolute consistency of audiobooks. Throughout the day, I'll read whenever I feel like it. If things are slow at work (from home) or I have meetings too close together to do something else in between, reading is a great pastime.

I either listen to audiobooks or I put PDF books/ebooks through a text to speech program and I tend to read at home. I don't like to read (or listen to books) when I'm outside, too much noise to be able to concentrate in what i'm reading/it's being read to me.

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.

I typically read at home, in my chair, whenever I have spare time. Which is usually an hour or two after work on weekdays, and essentially the entire day on the weekends. I’m a bit cliche with the how; I brew a cuppa, plop down into my chair, toss on some headphones with some instrumental music, and that’s that.

Sometimes in bed. Otherwise in the evening when I fancy some peace and quiet.

I wake up very early in the morning and cannot catch sleep. So I read there, in the bed. Also during commute and at night. Quitting Facebook and the like was crucial, one day I noticed how much time I was wasting by scrolling forever and ... That was it.

@books I've been using @voice aloud reader to listen to my epub files and webserials when I commute back from work. Best app ever, highly recommend.

I read on my lunch breaks at work. It's nice to get away from 3 computer screens and a phone. Sure, paperback books still don't help eyestrain, but it's a nice break lol
