Where do I find time to read!???

I am so there with you on that. So many books, so little time. I read just before I go to bed sometimes and Always, if I can work in treadmill time, I have a book with me to read while I excercise!

I have a small library of books that I need to read. lol You'd think that would be enough, but each time I go the library, I feel a sudden need to spend a dollar to buy more books (the Friends of the Library where I live sells off what I assume to be old library books in order to make more room for newer ones...ten books each are placed in paper bags). I suppose that one of my big fears is not having any more books to read, so I tend to horde more books than I can read. :)

I love to read. Despite having a full-time job, having a husband and a house to take care, I still try to find time to read. I usually read at night before I go to sleep. I keep my books in a basket near my bed. I also carry a book in my purse all the time. I usually read during my lunch hour at work. Also, to catch up with my to-be-read list of books, I have gotten into the habit of listening to audiobooks while commuting back and forth to work. With these habits, I would usually finish between 2-5 books a week, depending on their lengths and my schedule.

Oh yes I have this problem too. I have just spent the last few weeks gathering a couple of sets of books that I wanted to read. I have 7 books now to read and as yet, no time to read them. What I have started doing though is started to take my book in the bath with me and set myself time to just read a few pages in the bath while I have the time to relax for a little while.

back when i was still commuting for work, i oftentimes have a book handy. i can finish a few chapters on my way there. but sometimes it gets hard to read while standing inside the train. if i have extra time during the weekend, i would grab a book and hopefully be so engrossed i could finish it that day. because if i dont, i may not find another time to do so

I find that setting aside even 10 or 15 minutes before bed is the only way I can get any reading done. Get ready for bed a little early, turn off the TV and any other distractions and just read. It may be hard to focus on just the book at first but if you really force yourself to concentrate and make an effort to read each day it will get easier. Plus, I find that if I switch my brain from "real" stuff to a story right before I go to sleep I have a much easier time falling asleep. Just stay away from anything with too much suspense!

I feel this way sometimes then I take a nice relaxing bath or meditate before reading I also read while in the bath tub.
