But reading passes the time of a long flight. There is usually not much else to do.

The biggest reason I read on planes is to relax, especially with all of the people. I usually fly with my younger brother and I find reading helps me ignore his antics (sorry, kid) and those of the people around us.

I am not trying to be rude, but sometimes reading in a waiting room or a plane is the only time I have to read and I would rather get some reading done than talk to a stranger. I am not antisocial, I swear. And the people that want to talk to me always talk to me about something I care nothing about or have no interest in. It even happens when I have headphones in and a book out. Go away people. Let me read!

I know what you mean, the same thing happens to me. They think if I am reading, that it means they have to save me from my book.Meg0169 wrote:I try to read where ever I go, waiting rooms, planes, etc., but I do not always get that pleasure. I would say 9 times out of 10 someone sees me reading but still tries to talk to me. I don't know what more I could do to say "see this book? This means leave me alone. Go away", but they apparently do not get that.

I have flown out of the country and sometimes the flight lasts over 20 hours. So I definitely read on airplanes. I have to admit, I am old school and probably always will be; I read paperback only, no matter where I go. E-books make me sleepy.

Flying is no longer fun but reading makes it tolerable.
