I’m glad I “made the time” to read this terrific post! 🙂

Aside from the sheer pleasure of reading, it’s often what I do when I’m forced to do nothing by other people. Like waiting in the doctor’s office or traveling by train or plane. I would also never go into a restaurant to eat by myself without a book–sitting and reading while someone brings me food is sheer pleasure (as long as there’s enough light). I also, not to be indelicate, read when I’m in the bathroom and would otherwise just be sitting there. And, of course, the fifteen minutes or so before turning off the light at night are precious reading moments.

When my grandmother told me that she didn’t have the time to spend it reading, I was dismayed, since it’s so important to me. After her death, I found out that because her family was so poor, she didn’t have a good education. She wanted to be a teacher, but she became a hairdresser instead. I think she may have said she didn’t have time to read because she was embarrassed that her education was lacking and that she found reading difficult.
