Reading Hours, a Monday Musing

Do you have a set reading time (before bed, perhaps)? Do you read more at night or during the day? Is there a day of the week, perhaps, that you set aside to catch up on reading?

Housekeeping notes:
1. I’m behind in attending to all your thoughtful comments in the last two posts. I’ll get to them and also update blogroll.
2. As of Sunday night, the blog is 99 comments short of 10,000. The 10,000th commentator will most likely manifest the next two days. Good luck!

In this past Booking Through Thursday post I talked about my two-hour reading ritual early in the morning. During the regular semester, the teaching job doesn’t mandate my presence at the office until late morning. Being an early bird, waking up at 5 in the morning, subject me to the advantage of a smooth, quiet morning, free of phone calls and other mundane distractions, that is conducive to productive reading. I usually read far more in terms of pages during the two hours in the morning than any time of the time, because my mind is refreshed and clear. Usually I read some more early evening and make some reading notes, but I never read in bed. The weekend is usually when I catch up with my reading, my blog reading, and also attending to blog comments.
