I only feel guilty about reading when I’m driving.

Of all of my hobbies, reading is the only one that’s ever been totally guilt-free! Maybe because my mom was a teacher and is an avid reader, but I’ve always viewed reading as productive, positive work.

on the contrary, I will read the book any day over watching what Hollywood thinks is the story. Anyone else?

I’m like you – I think of reading as an indulgence I love. However, I have also recently decided that ‘wasting time’ is a worthy way to spend time 😊
