Do you have such habit? Read the books in any place if you are waiting

One day I was in hospital and I was waiting for Dr. my brother was with me. He take the book and start the reading and told me you should also read. I said I am not interested he told ohhh why you are spending the time or wasting the time. Second day again my brother came with me on station for leaving me and the train was 1 hour late. He again started reading the book. I asked which book you are reading then he told me Narayan Murthy, The founder of Infosys company(the well-known software company which he co-founded with six other professionals in 1981) all story were published in that book how they face the lots of problem but finally get achievement. Again my brother told me you should also read this type of books when you are waiting anywhere for anyone. What you think this is good habit and good idea for using the time.
