Comment on Ask HN: How do you occupy yourself on your daily commute?

Comments

Here in Switzerland, the commute time could be quite long. I personally am changing at least 3 transports to go to work every morning with a total time of 1 hour.

I have a subscription to Wired magazine and take an edition every day. Sometimes, when I am bored with it, or I finish the edition for the month, I bring along a paperback from my favorite author - Clive Cussler. Strongly recommend his amazing sea adventures. Moreover, his books date back to the 70s, and there are already quite a lot of them. The paperback format is perfectly fitting into my backpack.

When even those reach a level of saturation... I just listen to music and look outside. You will be surprised how many NEW things you actually discover for the place you are living in the last even 10+ years.

Thank you for suggesting Clive Cussler. I was looking for some good fiction to read so might try his work.

My guess that in Switzerland there're plenty of places to look outside during your commute. Not all countries are so picturesque.
