Loved reading in USA Today of a fellow slack time reader (www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/hiestand-tv/2007-10-14-bcs-television_N.htm). In between innings of a Red Sox game, Stephen King brought out the new book by Robert Harris, The Ghost. King wryly noted the advantage of longer commercial breaks, which doubled his page count.
As the parent of too many (but never enough) kids, Mr. Obie Joe is well familiar with the stolen bits of time for reading. Reading at red lights is a particular favorite because it lessens the stress of getting from Point A to Point B in rush hour. Nonfiction choices tend to work best in this setting; fiction cliffhangers might be more hazardous to a driver's attention.
Where do you catch your slack time reading? (Besides the bathroom).
