Where's Your Favorite Place For Reading?
 

I don't can't read books in short spurts, so I never bother to read on the bus, or while waiting for something that'll arrrive/happen in under five minutes.

But I've also found that I can't get much reading done around the house. The couch or the easy chair aren't conductive. But any book laid down at the kitchen table is liable to have a good twenty or thirty pages flipped through it.

The oddest thing now is that I seem to do the majority of my reading out at bars these days. Either in the afternoon or late at night when there is less of a population there. I'm wondering if maybe that in order to ignore the music and constant sound of glasses clinking, I'm forced to concentarte harder then I would if I was in a calmer location.

Seems to be working fine for me. Although a lot of my covers are sticky.

Where's your best place for reading?

My couch.

Anywhere, but I usually have to be lying down.

in a lounge chair by the swimming pool.

On the train. Unless there is an interesting conversation I can eavesdrop on, of course.

I currently don't have any favorite place. &nbsp However, as a child, there was one particular room in my Grandmother's house that I loved to read in. &nbsp It had its own air conditioner and a huge, comfy chair with matching ottoman. &nbsp I spent many a hot, summer day in that room, reading to the gentle, background hum of the AC unit. &nbsp Ahhh, those were the days! :)

A hot tub

in a wing-back chair with one or two legs draped over one arm and my head resting on a wing. so comfortable... so very comfortable...

I hammock is my favorite, but I often read on a lawn chair while on my patio.

Various places, but I usually read for an hour or two before going to sleep every night.

On BART provided some loudmouth isn’t yapping on a cel phone at the top of their lungs.

On the pot.

In bed if I can’t sleep.

at work in the middle of the night.

Lying in bed.

Sitting on Captain Porcelin.

In a bookstore - preferably a major chain like B&N or Borders - a good cup of coffee and a good book make for a very nice Sunday afternoon.

If it during the week, after work curled up on the couch with the TV on. :D (Remaining remnants of an almost recovered couch potato)

not my favorite, but about the only place I get any done anymore. my car while waiting for my laundry to be done at the laundramat

My favorite spot used to be either the Barnes & Noble in the Arboretum in Austin or the Barnes & Noble on the drag in Austin across from UT. Now that I live in Charlotte I haven't found a cool place.

If I lived in ca..it would have to be at the beach..but since I don't I just lay on my bed, with my fountain turned on.

On my couch, in bed before I go to sleep, at work in the break room, or in an easy chair in the living room with my feet propped up. As long as no one's talking to me I can read just about anywhere as long as nothing important is going on. I also like reading outside with the sun beaming down on me. As long as I have 15 or 20 minutes I can start to get into a book.

I commute to NYC via ferry, so I've usually got 50 minutes to kill each way. I manage about 100 pages a day.

I live in Hawaii and I don't like reading books at the beach. Too much sand and my hands are always wet or oily from sunscreen. Besides, I don't go to the beach to read. :D If I do bring reading material, though, it's usually sports magazines. I don't like bringing magazines like Maxim because I don't want to get crap all over them. I don't mind messing up my sports magazines, though.

I just plop down on my bed with my stereo beside me and listen to some music while I read.

On my bed.

In my bedroom. Usually on my chair or my bed. But sometimes I goes outside my room and read it in my porch.

Call me cliched, but I like to sit outdoors, against a tree and read (usually on the University of Saskatchewan campus or the riverbank near the Besborough Hotel). Or I sit in my living room and read (especially during thunderstorms!) until my cat begs for attention.
