How Do You Read?

[Guillaume]

I don't need any special condition and/or media: it's everywhere (though never in the toilets: I cant' stand people who read books, newspaper or comics while sitting on the can! They should be shot in the head!), everywhen, on paper or on my pda.

I read on the can, we even have a bookcase next to the toilet.

How can you? :x

I mean, walllowing in your own odors, how can you concentrate on your reading? :x

And what of the poor bastards who need to take a leak ?

I have on numerous occasions nearly shit my pants running around the house trying to find a good read before plopping down on the can to take a dump. I simply cannot relieve myself without something to read. Otherwise, I need complete quiet and can only read very late at night - after 2AM atleast when there is very little street noise. (live in new york city).

lmao - i just remembered the Seinfeld episode where George takes a book into the bathroom at a book store and is forced to buy it, then can&#39;t return it at any bookstore or even give it to the salvation army because it has been "tagged" as being taken into the bathroom. Ah good stuff.

I used to go to bed early and read for a couiple of hours in silence before going to sleep. But then I got addicted to the internet and haven&#39;t read a book since. I plan to address this issue shortly.






























maybe.

I get most of my reading done on the weekly commutes. Lots of stuff going on around me never distracted me; nothing else to do really but stare at other people on the subway, so I find I really get the most done travelling to and from work.

When I was an undergrad, I used to get on the subway early in the morning with my textbooks, ride the trains all day, and have all my reading done before a test. It really worked for me. The real distraction for me was being at home where my computer is -- way too much to do on the net, I never get to my reading&#33;

This is what I worry about, I&#39;m easily distracted by my computer. I start my English degree in September and I live right next to the uni so I won&#39;t be able to read whilst commuting.

I suppose I could move away and then get some reading done on my way in...

It&#39;s hard HH, but you&#39;ll have to suppress the temptation to cross the street and, say, read FST instead of Eng Lit. (Gawd if only I had done half the readings I was assigned instead of playing FPS&#39; on the net all day).

In fact it might even work out better, because you won&#39;t feel the urge to leave the school reading rooms early to get home at a decent time (my main problem...)
