Do you take a book to read at doctor's appointments?

Always! What else is there to do when you just have to sit there, waiting. I'm definitely not going to start skimming through those magazines that are probably older than I am!

Of course!! I take a book everywhere I go where I know I will be sitting and waiting.

I take a book EVERYWHERE- never travel without one! I feel antsy when I don't have a book or my kindle on me, for just-in-case moments.

Every time! I hate the germ covered magazines and staring people so naturally I bring a book to keep myself busy.

Absolutely last couple of years I've had a lot of appointments. The books kept me sane

Babe you would die of the boredom at the dentists otherwise

Yes, I always take a book with me to appointments. Much better to read something I want to read than magazines that are years old!!

I always try to have a book with me if I think I will be waiting somewhere. Trouble is--I'm not very good at predicting when I will need it. It seems to be a rule with me that if I take a book, I won't have time to read it, and if I don't have a book, I will be sitting around waiting for something and wish I had one. One of these days I'll get it right!

Yes! I always have a book, my Nook or my Nook app on my phone. Standing in line is tolerable as long as I have something to read. When my family gets together it is not unusual for all us to be hanging out and all of us have a book in hand. We all have different tastes in books so always have a lot to share about we are reading or what audio book we are listening to. Just never enough time to read!

I prefer not to read in a doctors office. When i am reading something and can not put it down, i wont be paying attention to anyone(including someone calling my name that i am next).

Of course! Time sitting doing nothing could be time enjoying a great book!

Like a lot of people in this thread, I always have some books with me no matter where I go: on my phone. I do need to get more into the habit of bringing my tablet with me, though. It's much better to read on because of the screen size if nothing else.

I can't count the number of times that phone has saved me from boredom by having some great books on it!

I used to bring a magazine if I thought it would be a short wait but now I always have the kindle app on my phone so I'm never unprepared! Reading a great mystery novel by Liliana Hart right now!

It just depends on the what kind of doctor appointment I'm going to. I always have the kindle app on my phone for emergencies. There has been more than one occasion when I've gotten it out while sitting in the waiting room.
