Meaning
This reads as a simple portrait of how work gets fitted around travel and how leisure is protected in small pockets. It can be taken to mean that productivity does not stop on the road, but reading for pleasure still matters as a separate, restorative habit. It lands for anyone who uses transit time to catch up and then keeps evenings for themselves.
