However, I think it's all about making the most of every opportunity to read. I take books to hospital/doctor appointments, on train journeys etc. I read at night before I go to sleep - if it's a real page-turner, I sometimes find it difficult to put the book down. I'm a great library fan - support your local library! Sometimes, I re-read books I have found particularly enjoyable - the Terry Pratchett Discworld books are a case in point. Of course, this means annoying everyone around you when you laugh out loud at bits you'd forgotten. This is even worse if you read at night with your partner next to you trying to sleep!

It's a question of getting rid of the distractions that keep me away from both. It has helped tremendously now that I'm not watching TV anymore. Great video.
