Verbatim (cont.)
Reading is wonderful any time of year but it's especially nice to sit in the shade in the chaise lounge and read while sipping a cool beverage.
I read all year long - neither more nor less during the summer.
Since I am no longer in school, I don't have the summer off I don't worry about having a summer reading list.
My Mom always said as long as you have a book, you are never alone. I guess I took her seriously as I have a personal library of almost 3000 books, about half fiction and half non fiction. My husband and I can happily spend many hours just reading. I am never without a book or several when I travel and so now am enjoying ereading when on the road. That library is growing too! Passing the joy of reading on to a child is a truly great gift.
Cheaper to borrow a book from the library than using an electronic device and it keeps their circulation up!
I prefer the feel of a book in my hand and turning pages. And no batteries.
Any season is fine for reading.
I read all year round, I don't read different kinds of books during the summer than any other time.

I've found I prefer the "Paper" screen for reading, much eaiser on the eyes. I don't buy as much as I use to as my local library has about everything I want in eBook format - no more trips to the store or library I can do it all online from anywhere.
I recommend reading year-round. :)
Students should have mandatory summer reading lists.
I also like to listen to books on CD or ipod. It's great to listen to a good book & multi-task.
I haven't tried an e-reader yet, so maybe I'll move to those one of these days!
Still hard to find the time for pleasure reading!
I listen to audio books in the car. It greatly improves my commute.
I love my Kindle, but at the beach where the elements are an issue, I will take a paperback.
There is nothing more relaxing than sitting all day on the beach (under an umbrella at times) reading books of choice and discovering tidbits of interesting information. These tidbits can then be shared with friends and family while consuming adult beverages and laughing together as the sun is setting at the end of another glorious day.
I'm old enough to still want to hold the book in my hands and turn actual pages.
Regarding the above question, I like reading traditional books, but they don't transport as readily as my kindle. Beyond that, since my Kindle fire, I have rediscovered reading real newspapers. Who would have thought?
Find a nice Park and enjoy reading :)!!!
