I have a tremendously long commute to work. An hour and forty five minutes, one way.
Reading is my only salvation on this commute.
I am saving up for a down payment on a place that I can call my own, and I can single-handedly credit reading for making it easier to grin and bare it. That, and having an awesome job helps a bunch.
Hell, check out the number of books I've read in the past year alone: http://www.jonlim.ca/books-ive-read/
