You read during your lunch-hour Daz? A guy I used to work with used to go back to his car at lunchtime to read. Some people used to say he was anti-social but I completely got it.

in the car, or outdoors in good weather - the people I work with are mostly really nice but they are not "friends" and I do not need to "socialise" with them on my own time - it's one of the reasons I initially took up running (to be on my own) - and I am quite willing to admit to being a miserable anti-social git! :-D

I ride mostly. I'm a sucker for a junk mile or two when I can get them.

(That was May last year BTW. Finally reading it now I can't get beyond "McG's going to hate this". Sorry, gang).

I have read Chapter One (Day 18). I am going to London. It is going to accompany me.

I read in my lunch break (1/2 hour) as often its the only chance I get!

Have put off starting Nod as I thought I ought to read my Xmas present first! Also, prefer to read real books at home and use the kindle for work.

I used to run in my lunch breaks but the amount of people in the West End make it pointless now.

I don't read enough at home, mainly on the train. I've only 16 train journeys left to finih the Golden Notebook. It's good, but it's not a quick read.

I whittled my to-read pile down a little by consigning three books to the unfinished category (The End Of The Affair, Corridors of Power, and The Accidental - sorry Bint) and another (The Goldfinch) to the never-really-started-might-try-again-but-not-in-the-immediate-future pile.
