Even if I am reading a physical copy book, I always have unread book downloaded on my phone. I read absolutely everywhere, whenever I can.

I try to use the reading app on my phone for convenience, but I will take a hard copy if I feel like it.

Yes!, My first option is always homework, because I prefer to read in the comfort of my house, but when I don´t have homework I always bring something to read

That is a great idea! Doctors' appointments have a long waiting time and reading a book there would be a great pastime.

Yes! I make sure to have a physical book or a book on my Kindle mobile app. I love reading at appointments, it's usually quiet and makes the wait fly by.

I take a book to all of my doctor’s appointments. There’s almost always a wait, so why waste the time?

No, but that's a good idea! Sometimes I am waiting for 20-30 minutes at the office.

I pretty much always have a book with me so any time I have some down time or am waiting for an appointment or something the book comes out

Yes. Taking books along when going to see the doctor has a lot of advantages. One of which is having not to waste the time not learning anything.

Every time! And when the doctors call me in they always ask what I'm reading and are often even surprised that I brought a book with me.

I always have book wherever I go. I am a very impatient person. A book keeps me busy and less irritated for having to wait on something or someone.
