What?

I mostly read science fiction, primarily space opera. Favorite recent books include Red Thunder by John Varley and The Excalibur Alternative by David Weber.

When?

Usually at night before I go to bed. I also take a book with me whenever I'm going to have to wait somewhere (doctor's office, for example).

Where?

In bed, sometimes on the couch.

Why?

It helps me unwind. I hate being bored, hence the book when I'm waiting (see 'when' above).
