« L’autre jour j’attendais le bus et je me suis retrouvée à faire ce que j’appelle « calcul de temps livresque »: à consulter les horaires et à calculer en vitesse si j’avais assez de temps pour commencer à lire? Ou si je ferais aussi bien de me contenter de glander sur Twitter?

…

Une expérimentation non répétée et a-scientifique a prouvé que [lire pendant votre pause déjeuner] réduit votre fatigue en fin de journée, vous rend plus productif dans l’après midi et reposera vos yeux… »

(Traduction libre, original après le saut)

The other day I was waiting for the bus and I found myself doing what I call “booktime math”: checking the transit schedule and quickly calculating do I have enough time to start reading? Or should I just goof around on Twitter? It got me thinking about what I consider “enough time” to read, or more specifically, enough time to crack open the book I’m currently reading.

…

“Excuse me, have you heard the good news about lunchtime reading? A single, totally non-scientific experiment has proven that it makes you less tired at the end of the day, more productive in the afternoon, and thanks to the change of scenery and break from computer-screen-reading, your eyes won’t feel as strained (experiment was performed using paper, but a good quality ereader should produce the same eye-relieving effects).”
