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!:angry:), everywhen, on paper or on my pda.
I read on the can, we even have a bookcase next to the toilet. :ph34r: ;) :lol:Quote:

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 ? :angry:
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'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'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!

This is what I worry about, I'm easily distracted by my computer. I start my English degree in September and I live right next to the uni so I won't be able to read whilst commuting.Quote:

I suppose I could move away and then get some reading done on my way in... :lol:
It's hard HH, but you'll have to suppress the temptation to cross the street and, say, read FST instead of Eng Lit. :D (Gawd if only I had done half the readings I was assigned instead of playing FPS' on the net all day).
In fact it might even work out better, because you won't feel the urge to leave the school reading rooms early to get home at a decent time (my main problem...)

I can't :cry1:
I just look at the pictures
