I have back problems that I was born with so I try to go with paperbacks for the canvas tote but sometimes I break the rules! lol

My back isn't the best either so maybe paperbacks would be better

I have back problems too so now we can go tell our doctors that we know the problem is carrying too many books around

wow, I'm envious of all that reading time. I have my morning and afternoon breaks (15 minutes) and lunch (1 hour) but it's always so hard to go back to work after that!

Yeah, I basically have lunch during the day to read, though, I've been doing data entry the past week and a half to try to transfer files from an old computer system to a new so for lunch I normally just zone out and try not to think too hard. I listen to pandora radio, mess around on facebook, because I know I'll be doing a lot of reading when I get done with lunch. I try to do some reading in the evenings but that hasn't worked out recently. I had to mow yesterday and today I have to make a grocery run.
It's not fair. Being an adult meant no more homework and more free time in the evenings...right

I'll most likely not have the reading time after this week cause don't really have any notes to do or studying but will starting next week. So will turn to just bus reading but did get some reading done while having an hour off. Though the last hour didn't get much cause of being tired and a headache. But did get some done and some on the bus home

I miss being able to spend hours doing nothing but reading. It's hard to get any time in lately. I hate having responsiblitlies.

I wish I could spend hours reading, but my medication doesn't let me do that anymore. The most i can get in at a time is about 30 minutes if I am lucky.

I've been carrying Graceling around in my purse all week so I can read it whenever I get a chance, but it's a fairly big book, so my purse ends up leaving red marks on my shoulders Oh, what I go through for my books

You should see me going on vacation. About 1/3 of my room is taken up with books. When I went to London for six weeks for school I brought three with me even though I was taking two literature courses while I was there, and I ended up buying three of the Harry Potter books as well Hi, I'm TheAngel, and I'm a book addict And I wouldn't have it any other way!

I always bring a book with me even if I don't read it. I haven't been in the mood to read lately since i've doing other things. I hope to get more reading done for next week.

It's such a great feeling when I finish a book within two days. I always read it on the bus or at the break room at work.

So, right now I'm reading Shantram by Gregory David Roberts at work. If anyone has never seen this book, it's a 936 page behemoth so between it and my water bottles, my backpack has gotten a bit heavy
