Was wondering if there were other wacky people out there like me. I read lots of places. In bed, on the couch, outside from time to time, ( love the backyard laying on a blanket on the grass.)but I made myself a reading room in my basement. Its a small room probably 10 by 10. Nothing real special. I just put a nice lazy boy in there. Good lighting. Put some posters and paintings up I liked. ( gotta have at least one lik photograph up) right next to the from a buick 8 poster I surprisingly got that came with the book. A shelf for displaying some cemetery dance books and then shelves for my books. A little library of books I've read. It's away from the TV and seems like I get more out my reading in there compared to other places. Was wondering if any of Yunz have a favorite or special place u do ur reading. Love to here about it!

Usually in the kitchen, sitting on a stool at the peninsula where we keep the computer phone fax copier...or in the living room on the couch/recliner...summer out on the deck while I'm grillin...although I have taken a book out in the bush with me...summer again. I've taken a book or the kindle on vacation but the only time I read then is on the plane don't have time otherwise.

In bed mainly. With something to drink in a glass at the nighttable. Also on the subway when i do use it (but its dangerous, several times i missed my stop because i got so immersed in the story). And if i am on vacation i read by the beach or pool or whatever. I miss the hammock we had on our countryhouse... Perfect to lie there and feel the gentle breeze and the sun caressing you while you are reading.

Pretty much anywhere--lol. I've even read while washing dishes or taking a shower (not recommended. I had to pay for a Peter Straub book that I didn't even like that much). One place I rarely read is in bed, unless it's a Sunday afternoon and I'm just sprawled across it. The Man usually has to go to bed before I do (he gets up much earlier), so reading in bed is a no go.

OK. You won! I admit it. Reading in the shower!!!! Of all the unlikely places. I sometimes read while taking a really long bath but the shower is out.
