Reading on the weekend is a wholly different experience compared to reading on the weekday. During the week, we’re tired when we come home from work, and the energy we have to read is limited. When we read after a long day of work, it drains us, and the quality of our reading experience is pale compared to those sessions when we’re focused and engaged.
Reading on the weekend, however, is more casual and relaxed. We have so much more time to read without the worries of a busy schedule. We can progress further in the book, even finish the book in a two or three hour session.
That’s not to say that reading during the week shouldn’t be done. On the contrary. Reading during the week keeps the story fresh in our mind. It keeps the storyline active, and the characters, locations, and events in our short term memory.
If we only read on the weekend, there’d be a break in the narrative where we might forget the storyline and the subtleties in the story. Reading consistently helps to bridge the events and chapters together. If we read on the weekend in addition to the weekday, we can experience the book in a continuous flow in which everything falls into place.
