Is it just me or is there something special about reading a book on public transport? (sh.itjust.works)

I don't know what it is but I feel like there is something especially enjoyable about reading on a train or bus. Like I would be fine with making my commute longer because it dosen't feel like wasted time since I am reading. Also its just nice to be stuck somewhere for a bit with nothing to do but wait and be forced to read.

Ugh. The worst part of aging for me has been the farsightedness. Been nearsighted my whole life and that has been a big deal but with the farsightedness I can read but not as non chalantly or as comfortably as before. Really wrecks this kind of thing. Reading or suduko is definately the best thing to do on public transit with maybe a bit of music.
