How Do You Read Your Books?

Yes, it has been a while since the last post. Let's blame it on the down economy instead of the holidays. Recently, I have moved buildings that I manage at Parkway from one in a suburb to downtown. It is a different world down here. Parking, exercising, and even reading books are different down here. I now park in a parking garage...yep the same one that ate the side paneling off my car. I am joining a new gym that I walk to instead of drive to now. Lastly, the way that you read a book is different. I had just finished up a delicious turkey sandwich with cracked pepper chips at home and came back to the building. I parked in the side eating garage and headed straight for the sky bridge to the building. As I approached the sky bridge, I see this person walking around with their head down and pacing as if they were mad. I think to myself, no big deal, this is how people deal with anger downtown. Well as I approached the lady, I realize that she is also smoking a cigarette...you think...aaahhh not uncommon...well upon further investigation, she is reading a book too. Now when I read, which is rarely, I usually am sitting down with a nice beverage of choice and quietly read. I've seen people read on park benches, eat lunch and read, but never have I seen someone who reads, gets exercise, and feeds the hunger for nicotine at the same time. It was an incredible sight and somehow I hope to multi task this way in the future. Just curious...how do you read your books?
