So, how much do you read?

I try and read during my short commute to and from work, but sometimes conditions don't allow for this. On most of these commutes I'll read a book, but sometimes I read a paper; if I do read a paper, I've usually pin-pointed in advance an article I want to finish.

At work I find it too busy to settle properly and read, so don't usually get through a great deal. But on some days I'll trek out to the British Museum and read for a while in the open air.

At home I read whenever I get a chance. I'll usually try for a hour or two each evening, and on the weekend (or on my weekday days off) I'll attempt to settle down and read for several hours. However, I've embarked on a couple of Open University courses, and these are taking away the blocks of time on the weekend\weekdays.
