QUESTION: Do your reading habits change in the Spring? Do you read gardening books? Even if you don’t have a garden? More light fiction than during the Winter? Less? Travel books? Light paperbacks you can stick in a knapsack? Or do you pretty much read the same kinds of things in the Spring as you do the rest of the year?ANSWER: This is actually the first time I've really thought about how the seasons might effect my reading habits. I'm not sure I read more or less during the warmer months, but I do think I read lighter fair during the spring/summer because I get major spring fever. We may not have huge changes in temperatures here in California, but I for sure am happy once the rain really stops and the days get longer. Longer days for me though mean a shorter attention span. I'd prefer to be out hiking or laying by the pool, which usually gets me to read more fiction because I can get through it quickly without too much concentration. Does this happen to anyone else during the warmer months?

Hi. Found your blog while working on the first Weekly Geek assignment ;>).
Although I live in central FL and there's not a huge difference in the seasons here either, in the spring I just want to be outside. This time of year is when all the festivals around here crank up and I want to go see all the cool stuff (yesterday, for example, I went to a Volkswagen Bug/Bus show - it was groovy, man ;>)). And in the summer, I want to be on the beach. So I'm not likely to pick up books that require a lot of concentration these days.
I saw in your profile that you're a freelance writer. So am I (children's science books, for the most part) so I thought I'd drop by and say hello!
