    You don't have to have your eyes fixed on the book the entire time. You read as you walk, look up briefly to cross a road, then resume reading. When I had a 90-minute round trip to my internship I used to get through a book a day. :)

    Do you really believe you can commute to work 180 minutes every day, without arriving to work physically and mentally fatigued? 90 minutes for one way takes its toll and is not sustainable. Be realistic.


    Of course it is - I commuted to London every day from 1980 until 2010 - working 9-6 (sometimes later) - retired just 2 years ago (aged 68) - thousands do it daily. They are the realistic ones - if you want a job, you do what's necessary!
