SixPackSunday Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 i know generaly every night i fire up a bowl and pull out whatever book i'm reading and let me hookah session decide how long i read for...with all the talk about hookah and music/videos, i was just wondering if anybody enjoyed reading while smoking.

jezter6 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I tried it last night, and it was pretty cool. I turn the pages a lot and I puff a lot, so it's difficult for me to keep one hand on the hookah and still have the book open and pages turning.I'm going to have to find a better method - like one of those things that harmonica players wear to keep the harmonica up near the mouth without hands - and find a way to hook my hookah into it so I dn't have to keep holding it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixPackSunday Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 i'm normally in bed.. so i take a long handles hose and just rest it in the corner of my mouth... then breathe out the corners of my mouth so i can still see the page.

peterjmag Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Sometimes I'll take a book to Algiers (local hookah bar) when I just want to go smoke by myself, but I've never tried reading while I'm smoking at home. Now I want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 This sounds like fun I think i'll give it a shot this week!! What would be a good before bed smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I do it all the time! However, it can justify not studying because the clouds block out the book I'm trying to study from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKammenzind Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Yeah, I do it all the time... really it's about the only times I'll smoke solo. Reading some really heavy sci-fi/fantasy and smoking hookah is just awesome. Also a great way to study for an exam without feeling like you're:A. Turning into a droneor B. Getting your brain fried.

melanko Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I would love to do that regularly, but first I need to start, ya know, reading some books.I haven't actually read a novel in a few years. I should look around and see what's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Honestly never tried it but I will now, a lot of solo sessions lately and nothing good on the tubePlus it's taking my like 3 weeks to Read Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxiety Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 hahaha when i was reading harry potter 6/7 i was smoking while reading + some green tea...most realxing sessions ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazar Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hmm. Don't know if I would be able to concentrate on the text while reading. I guess I'd have to read every page like 3 or 4 times if I wanted to remember anything, especially when I'm smoking tangiers. For those of you who read while smoking: what kind of shisha do you prefer to use for this? Something that doesn't buzz you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobbed Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 all i know is ill smoke hookah for hours by myself while i do school work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixPackSunday Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 i smoke simple stuff like AF and non buzzing nakhlait just gives me something to fidget with while i read and that helps a lot... normally its a book, my hookah, and a coke or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dega Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I've got to read some book on global warming for my freshman orientation class...maybe this is a good opportunity to try it. I have to wait for my order to come first tho. Can't wait to try AF watermelon and AF orange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I do it once in a while, I used to do it more often back in the day..used to enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I do this all the time. Right now I'm in the middle of the 6th Stephen King Dark Tower book, the 5th Temeraire novel, and Alice in wonderland and through the looking glass (pretty damn stereotypical for a hookah smoker right?). My wife is trying to get me to read the twilight series now and I haven't seen her this obsessed since Harry Potter. Also I read plenty of graphic novels (Watchmen again soon for the millionth time and The Dark Night Returns soon as well), biographies, politics, and some philosophy (okay pretty much anything) while smoking but mostly fiction novels. Keeps the brain fresh and I love being immersed in another world/life. Nothing like a good book only made better by smoking hookah. So thank God we can do both, and oh I do. As much if not more than listening to music while smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Is it not one of the most amazing and wholly captivating stories you've ever read, Thor? For real, soooo immersive. I'm taking a break right now because frankly I want it to last longer Dark Tower movie in the works!!!!! Damn I really love this book series, it has shaped me a little as a person I must say (as do all truly great stories and tales). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
