Week 3. 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?
Where and how do you read? During weekdays, I usually read before going to bed as it settles my mind. Weekends are a bit more flexible -- I can read a book throughout the day ... or night. I love the feeling of getting through a book uninterrupted.
How I read? I prefer to read in chunks i.e., whole chapters. I hate going through a just a few pages as it breaks the flow of the story, and the momentum of reading.
Can you read anywhere and everywhere, or do you need a certain place/mood/state of mind to get reading? I can read absolutely anywhere and everywhere, as long as I have a book on me. {I have learned to stop reading in the car though because car conversations are better :) } But heck, II don't really need a certain mood or state of mind -- in fact, reading can calm me down.
Do you read more in the morning or at night or any minute that you can? I'm a spontaneous reader but my routine lets me read more at night. But weekends - anything goes!
Are you exclusively for print, or do you go for ebooks more than print? While I have a fondness for the old-fashioned physical book, I am open to ebooks too (how nifty is highlighting and digital bookmarking?). There is still something lovely about holding, smelling, and turning the pages of a book. I also love graphic art and textures and embossed covers and hard covers and gilt pages and ragged pages ... should I go on?
Have you ever tried audiobooks? No, I haven't. I probably should. I haven't formed an opinion about them yet.
If you have a Filipino Friday post, I'd love to read it! Mabuhay ang mambabasang Pinoy! (Power to the Filipino reader!)
