Is it normal to read in the car?

My house is usually quite noisy and there are really any places with complete silence. So, sometimes whn I want to read I get the car keys unlock the door and get in. People walking up our driveway usually look at me like I'm strange.

Is It Normal?

  • Yes, this is absolutely normal why do you think that people are silent in a library and not partying ...

  • That's a brilliant idea.
    Wish I'd thought of that when I was young and at home.

  • When I was on holiday with my family when I was younger, the pressure of being cooped up together made them more violent than usual. I used to remove myself from the situation by getting the car keys and going sitting alone in the car. Sometimes I'd listen to the radio, sometimes I'd read, sometimes I'd pretend to drive the car.

    Looking back, they were some of my happiest memories of family holidays. Being sat in the car was like I had my own house that wasn't filled with crazy people.

  • I used to read on the school bus. It was loud and noisy, but I learned to tune it out.

  • Hee, hee. I do this too. I sit in the back seat normally.

    But I go to my favorite park, not my driveway (that would still be too close to home).

    Although, last weekend, I think someone phoned the cops on me. I was parked in a huge lot and I had been there for an hour or two, reading. I was the only car parked in the lot. A police cruiser sped into the lot, stopping 15-20' away, perpendicular to my car. They watched me for a few minutes and then drove away.

  • Actually this is very normal. You found a quiet place where you can relax and read, even if it is in a car, it's good you found a place like this.
