Certainly in your situation they are! <br /><br />Concentrating is definitely hard for me on short car trips, such as the work commute. Several years ago, when I was still driving, I listened to a couple of audiobooks on my way to and from work.

But when it isn't, it sure is nice to be able to read in the car!<br /><br />Listening to the Harry Potter audiobooks sure does sound like fun! Especially if you've already read the printed books.

So I don't even bother with fiction!<br /><br />You know, I think you're right about the bus seats, because I don't usually fall asleep when I read in the car during road trips.

Especially if your drives are never particularly long, by the time you really get into the book you are already at your destination! <br /><br />Similarly,the couple times I was on a bus trip to places I also found myself either falling asleep of always getting distracted that I could never finish a page!

Maybe you were too stressed out with all the college coursework or something. But it's great that you're able to read in the car again!<br /><br />I wonder why kids have a tendency to fight in the backMaria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-40546070228891339972016-02-12T22:13:30.193-05:002016-02-12T22:13:30.193-05:00Hi, Elizabeth!

That's what I used to do several years ago, on my morning and evening commute to and from work. I listened to "Twilight" and "New Moon" that way. And I had already read the printed books!

Then some time in my college years I would get car-sick whenever I tried to read in the car. So I understand your feelings when you were on that bus! Thank goodness that didn't last long. Now I'm able to read just fine in the car again.

Lol.<br /><br />Yes, reading in a car can be distracting, but on longer trips, since my husband is always the driver, I can concentrate better. However, that's probably because these trips are right here in Florida. I don't think it would be possible for me to read if we were in some exotic locale, Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-55912957164013608432016-02-12T06:49:36.450-05:002016-02-12T06:49:36.450-05:00I seem to be always be the driver so reading in a ...I seem to be always be the driver so reading in a car would be hazardous for me :)<br /><br />I can see how distracting it would trying to read in a car. Sometimes I will read on airplanes when I am traveling alone as I seem to be able to shut the world out a little easier when flying. <br /><br />Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
