Do you have one book in your car or on your commute, and one book for reading at home? |
McWong73 | 18 Dec 2018 6:39 p.m. PST |
Bottles of whiskey yes, books no. |

I have a bus book for public transit and a towering pile of books to read at home. |

Not necessarily, but sometimes the home book is just too thick, and I'll take something thinner when I leave home. (Max convenient travel thickness is about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2". Yes, I've checked and measured.) |

My book in the car is on disk. Currently the pilgrims progress, very boring. My books at home tend to be reference books for games. Currently reading Osprey books about the great war in Africa. Working on converting Congo adventure to a standard wargame. |

One in the bag for work, one by the bed , and one by the throne. You can't waste a minute :) No matter how hard I try reading pdfs on tablets just ain't the same…… |

Not one, no. Way more than that. |

Multiple books at a time, usually one for home reading and one for work lunch reading. but all on Kindle |
Dynaman8789 | 19 Dec 2018 6:23 a.m. PST |
Call me crazy but I carry the book from the house to the car and back. |

No car but multiple books on iPad to read on public transport and one with full dyslexic filters to read in the house. x42 |

OK; you're crazy, but I was here first. Yeah, if a book is that good, and not too heavy, I'll carry it. Upstairs, downstairs, out on to the porch (if the weather is good). Fortunately I have yet to master driving and reading, so I don't. You're welcome. |

I usually grab a thinner book when I am traveling if the one I am currently reading at home is thick and heavy. But then I often read more than one book at a time. |

I use a Kindle (800+ books currently) and have nearly my entire library available to me wherever I go. Fiction, non-fiction Osprey, rule sets, the whole Magilla. |

Do you have one book in your car I, myself, don't usually read while driving, but back in the 1990s I would see people reading newspapers while driving in slow-moving morning freeway traffic. Lately, I guess they're all reading their phones. |
Patrick Sexton | 19 Dec 2018 11:35 a.m. PST |
One in the car to read at lunch, one on the nightstand and one to read while my wife is watching a show I am not interested in. And now this is going through my head, "One Book to rule them all and in the Darkness, bind them." |

I don't read in my car, I'm too busy driving. Reading in your car in my state could get you a ticket for distracted driving. I generally take the book I am currently reading back and forth. Read during lunch and breaks, but not while I am driving. |
Bobgnar | 19 Dec 2018 9:53 p.m. PST |
All these complaints about reading in the car. Get a book on disk and it's no different than listening to the radio. I have listened to hundreds of books to and from work and On trips. I'm trying to figure out how to connect my iPad to the USB port in the car, and listen to audible books. I have a mortal engines on there now. |

Once I was in a carpool and the driver had The Sum of All Fears on a book on tape. It was the chapter where they entered the stadium and had to deal with charred bodies. It was just a little too much for me at 7 a.m. I've read several of Tom Clancy's novels, but after that drive, I've never wanted to read that one, nor have I seen the movie. |
