Can You Read in a Car/Bus/Train?

I can read it on a bus, I can read it with no fuss.

I can read it in a car, I can read it going far.

I can read it in a train, I can read it in the rain. 

I can read Green Eggs and Ham, I can read it, Sam I am.

(I O'Ded on The Lorax last night, sorry)

every morning I read my paper on the train into work.

every night I do some work, usually including reading legal documents on the train ride home.

I don't even like riding in the passenger seat in a car, I'm much more comfortable being the one behind the wheel.  I've never been a good passenger.  I can't read on a bus either, but a plane is OK.  I haven't done any train travel.

All good stuff.  Seems the populace is split.

Has anyone gone from being able to not read to being able to read?

Can I train my mind?  I have an hour commute and it actually depressed me staring out, since most of the route tranverses the poor (no way the rich would allow a commuter train to go through their pristine neighborhoods or even allow the opportunity for the poor to see how they live.)

For years I couldn't read in the car or on the train -- it made me sick to my stomach and gave me a headache every time.  One day, I tried reading on the train while chewing gum and I haven't had a problem since, as long as I chew gum.  I don't know why it works for me -- I can only guess that the chewing equalizes something in my ears that previously caused the headache and nauseousness.

Try it! 

i can read on a car/plain/bus/train for a while with no problems.  After about an 1.5 hours or so i do get a headache and have to stop.   I think it is just fatigue from having to focus your eyes in a specific spot while your head is moving around.    No nausea or swimmy head, just a straight up headache.

The backwards part is the kicker.  I can barely look at the window.  Need to be sitting the same direction as the train.

Hey how about when we were on the Metro in DC!  I couldn't read the information about the registration while Patti and I were riding over there.

Once I was fishing on Lake Ontario in a rather small boat (14 footer) and the waves were about 3 feet high.  If I sat there and tried to tie knots in a fishing line, I would get seasick.  Otherwise, it didn't bother me.  When I was a kid, I couldn't sit on the swing, twist it up and then spin around as it un-twisted.  Made me sick every time.  I could never be a figure skater, as much as I think I'd look pretty cute in one of those outfits.

it just might take you time to get used to the motion, but after a while, you will treasure that train ride going home at night, I do

also try puzzles... try suduko, it's amazing how fast times goes by when you do those crazy puzzles
