What is your favorite time or place to read?

For the past few months since moving to a temporary apartment where i live with uncomfortable rules, I have had to adapt to my environment without losing my reading culture, from noisy generating sets for evening ambience as a result of power shortage to dogs barking at any sound they do not fancy and high pitched vocals when in dialogue.
i began waking up early to make use of the Sun dawn gap when occupants are sleeping, taking their kids to school and there is no need to wake the neighborhood with a noisy generator. On the days this need for the sound of nature to fill the air at least between that gap,is ignored.i just plug in sounds of violin or vibrations that fit the morning to block out other sounds, I have had more success reading when its dawn.

What makes you enjoy a book?

the authors ability to unconsciously create a striking image of not just characters in the book, also painting pictures of the scene easily from pages to chapters using words that corroborate each other in the spirit of narration.
Len Deighton's Berlin Game and Mexico Set, gives that effect to the reader as the mind glides along with every piece of information that summarizes the book.

Do you like to read outdoors, before bed or on the bus on your way to work?

The option of reading outdoors in the bosom of natures endowment is an luxury i can not afford with my environment so i just stay indoor to escape the noise that becomes a distraction when its consistently loud.
as long as there is proper air flow.

Do you focus on character development, thoughtful messages, or the level of intrigue a plot generates in you?

character development is major key, recently i read Mario Puzo OMERTA again and the writing style kept the level of intrigue and action and suspense at a perfect balance.

i tag @kaywoods because i feel she might find interesting,same as @educ.leb & if @papilloncharity can do this for charity,it will be a good read i believe.
