Gym reading

When I go to the gym, I exercise because I feel I need to to keep my body healthy. But, I always take a book, I can read while riding a stationary bike, walking on the treadmill or using the stair master. It makes the time go faster and makes me feel more productive. Generally, I read a simple book, preferably a children's book, so it does not take too much brain power to comprehend. I just finished Hunger games by Suzanne Collins about a future dystopian society where the TV show, Survivor, is taken to a new level. Children are pitted against each other to the death, while the whole country watches them for entertainment. I read most of this in 30 minute increments, until I got so involved with it that I had to  take it home and finish it in one spurt. I started a new young adult novel today called After summer by Nick Earls. This is one of the gender studies books and it is a romance told from the perspective of the boy, giving a new twist to the girl pining for a boyfriend teen novel. It will probably be my gym book for a few weeks at least. Now if I could figure out how to read when I am swimming laps.
