    This may sound very strange but I am interested is there anyone who doesn't read at home because I am of that kind :D I work as system administrator in pretty big company and I often do not have much spare time so most of my reading is taking place in public transportation to and fro home [​IMG] It was hard in the beginning to focus on the reading but now I am well trained and nothing bothers me. Trip to the job is about 45 minutes so I can read few short chapters... [​IMG]

    I do read alot at home but as I travel some 300 kms by train 2-3 times a month ( 8 hours a return trip ) so I tend to read a book or more during that time. By reading you don´t even notice the trip itself....!!

    I read everywhere, at any time, whenever I can. I mostly read at home, hours during the afternoon and night. While going somewhere by car, plane, bus, underground... I get to read some ten books a day and I still have a severe deficit of books, since I buy many more than I can read... [​IMG] :rolleyes:

    I read anywhere, any time, I was talking to my father about this the other day and realised that I am almost never more than six feet from a book that I may want to read. I tend to bring a book with me to read when travelling though there is usually a book in my bag anyhow so if I have a quiet few minutes out it comes. On the other hand I am a bit of a slow reader sometimes, it has taken me ages to get through 'beyond good and evil' and Middlebrooks 'The Hamburg Raid' simply because I have been busy doing other things.
