Hey, I don't know how often this happens in households outside mine, but I know my partner only ever reads when he is in the washroom for a while or sick. And when he does that he reads a lot and thoroughly. My favorite time to read is probably when I am on my way somewhere or have the day off and am sitting outside in the sun. But I find that my mind tends to wander when I am at home and trying to read for leisure. But then, there are also those readers who go chapter by chapter, and those who read non stop. What kind of reader are you? And how does it fit into your lifestyle? r.

I do most of my reading in the bathtub! Usually just magazines or a paperback that I don't care if it gets wet. I love to read but haven't read many books lately, but when I start one that I really like I just want to keep reading until I am finished. I guess that's why I don't start too many books, I get nothing else done!

i'd say i'm all the types of reader that you've mentioned. it really depends on the ambience or my mood. there are times, that i read but my mind is not comprehending what i'm reading. or i read for non-stop. or i read for 2 to 3 chapters a day. i read during breaktimes at work. or while waiting for someone. it really depends.
