Booking Through Thursday - Jan-30th

Hosted here.
Really, really good question this week, I think.

Do you do other things while you read? Watch TV? Cook? Brush your teeth? Knit?
Or is it a quicker question to ask when you DON'T read?

Indeed, it is quicker to ask me when I don't read. However, I read while eating, while cooking, (I once burnt popcorn because I was reading...) while watching TV, (though that usually means I pay no attention to what I'm 'watching') while listening to music. I read while taking care of my pets, (two dogs and a cat) and I've been known to read while playing computer games (wouldn't recommend it, didn't work very well). Seriously, if I could, I'd read in the shower and while walking my dogs. Oh, and I also can and have read while walking. Just walking though, not walking my dogs.

When don't I read? Uh, well, I don't read while driving - but that's because I don't drive. I have however, read while riding in a vehicle - though I don't like doing it.

I've also read while carrying on a conversation with people. Thankfully enough, they don't mind because I don't (usually) ignore them in favor of turning my complete attention on my book. I'm sure there's other times I read as well, but I cannot think of any more right now.

  1. Oh man, If I could read in the shower and while walking the dogs I would get so many more books read! That would be the ultimate in multi-tasking!

    1. I know. I've got two dogs and sometimes I think I need a third hand. Thanks for the comment.

  2. Reading in the shower would not work for me because I almost exclusively read on my nook. :D

    Thanks for visiting my blog!

    1. How about a waterproof nook? Honestly, I think that would probably be safer than a paper book. I can just imagine getting soap on the pages. Thanks for stopping by.

  3. I don't do anything while reading I just snuggle up in a blanket close the bedroom door and dive into the book, completely unware of the world around me. But I do workouts while listening to audio books it's makes workouts alot more fun.

    1. I couldn't do that, even f I wanted to. Seems I - at the very least - need some background music going. Thanks for stopping by.
