I live alone and read books. I mostly read them at home but I’d like to go out and read. The thing is I have really bad adhd so it involves not just my Kindle but I also listen to the audiobook at the same time or I can’t stay focused on the book. I just listen to it on my phone with earbuds so it’s hopefully not a huge deal but it can’t be too loud or chaotic.
Where can I go out and “read” besides a coffee shop or the library. The library isn’t convenient and it’s a little weird going to coffee shops over and over again. I live in a big city so I’m sure there are other places I just don’t know what they are.
Any suggestions?
I think coffee shops would be happy with a regular, if you buy something. Otherwise, maybe mix it up, go to different places?
If the weather permits, park? Either benches or just take a towel to sit on in the grass.
You can also read in bars, they’re probably pretty quiet during the day, but once again you’d have to buy something.
Maybe a weird one but churches are often available to the public and they’re quiet, with seating. Might be worth to check with someone there if its OK.
If they are open to the public, museums or galleries could be a thing.
Encroaching on homeless behaviour, but if the public transportation tickets in the city are valid as long as you stay on, you could try finding a less used line and just go around in circles on something.
