Reading Habits and Book Formats. Where and how do you read? Can you read anywhere and everywhere, or do you need a certain place/mood/state of mind to get reading? Do you read more in the morning or at night or any minute that you can? Where and how do you usually read? Are you exclusively for print, or do you go for ebooks more than print? Have you ever tried audiobooks?
I have to find ways to get decent reading time these days, so I try to read whenever there’s a lull in my daily activities. I usually read during the commute to and from work, at night before I sleep, while waiting in line in banks or government agencies, lunch break at work, while waiting for people to arrive for meetings, during plane rides, and…ummmm…sometimes in the bathroom.
I used to exclusively read print books, but ever since I installed Kindle for PC, I’ve been reading more e-books.
I realized just recently that I am not a monogamous book reader. I take a different book for commutes, a different one to read in the house at night, a different one loaded in my Kindle for PC, and yet another for the…ummm…bathroom.
I don’t really know how I keep up, but I do still manage to remember where I am in the stories and what happened last I read them. I haven’t thought too deeply about why I do this, but I suspect this is an effect of having too many books in my To Read pile.
What about you? How, when, and where do you read?

Isn’t reading in the loo such a, errr, productive activity? LOL! :))
I only read on my PC once, I just couldn’t take the glare of the screen. And I usually read only a book at the time, the most I’ve done was to alternate between two titles. It’s amazing how you can keep track of the stories you read all the same time. 🙂 And don’t worry because I also read in the bathroom. There are no distractions there. 😀
