What do non-reader friends think about your reading habits? Do they understand? Are they sympathetic? Or are they always trying to get you to “get your nose out of that book?”
I think all things have to be in a balance. And while I do enjoy getting lost in a book (or tv show or movie or any form of pop culture entertainment), I try not to let that come before relationships with friends, family or the cats. (Though the cats do enjoy when I read and have a lap they can curl up in which the reading is occurring!) I think my family and friends understand my loving of reading and support it.
This time of year, I just don’t see how you can’t go to the pool without at least packing a book in the bag (or your e-reader) along with the towel, sunglasses and sunscreen. Poolside (or beach reading if you’re there) is one of the great pleasures of summer!
And I use the library so much that I figure I’m getting my fair share out of it as well as the fair share of people who don’t read as much or don’t use the library!

Even some of my reader friends are stunned by the amount of time I spending reading (I average 5 hours a day), so I just don’t tell non-readers. Although, my husband is what some would call a non-reader (he actually does read quite a bit but it’s mostly technical reading), and he has no issues with my reading.
I was very lucky to grow up in a family where both parents were readers. I guess I tended to associate with readers, so haven’t really had any issues arise.
I am very fortunate to have many friends who are also readers, as well as my husband and daughter. I never read if I’m in a social situation so I’ve never been told to get my nose out of the book. I am asked why I own so many books!
Most of my friends are readers, or at least they get that I am a reader. I totally agree with you about having a book in hand to enjoy summer!
