    The best time to read books for me, was when I was paid to do it.

    I worked the ticket booth at a state park. We had a lake, so we’d stay open even if it was raining. We’d have four or five boats come in the morning, I’d take their fees. The rest of the day I would sit in that booth making minimum wage, sitting in a small shelter from the rain, while being in the woods, and I’d read the whole time. I read 6 books that summer just from down time sitting in the booth

    Read on my own time? I can’t remember to bring the book with me. I really just need to put one in my purse… oh look, I forgot to do that … again.
