    Default Where do you do your reading

    Do you happen to have a favorite spot in the house that you enjoy to do your reading? Is it in front of your fire place, on the couch, bed, in the office, on the floor, next to the boiler, et cetera?

    I love to sit in my office, surrounded by piles of books, paper work galore, and so many books at my fingertips that I cannot wait to get to them.

    Hi,

    Welcome to the MB, and keep posting!

    Bed is the favourite, but absolutely everywhere else as well.

    Long days and pleasant nights

    Well, Dear Sir, this question has been asked before but certainly deserves a re-run.

    I read everywhere I can. My book travels with me. NO place is a bad place to read! We do a lot of waiting in this world and there is no better time to have that wonderful book and to spend that waiting time reading, yes?

    Talking Re: Where do you do your reading

    I don't have much time in the day to read so I usually read on my lunch at work. If I'm not at work I usually read in my bedroom. they seem to be the only places I can find peace and quite.

    I don't have a favourite place - if I have a book then ANY place is the perfect place, whether it be a bustling train or university or curled up on the couch with COPS on the box and a cat purring in my lap!

    Usually, I have no time to read while at home, so I read at work, or when ever I can take time. I wish I had time to read a lot more than I do. Life.

    My favorite reading place used to be my car (let me stress, NOT while driving). It's one of the few places I could be alone and find some quiet ... plus it's awesome to be able to pick up a book and do a bit of reading before work and/or during my lunch break. Right now I favor my bed (I do love my air-conditioning). I like to get on my knees beside it and prop the book on the mattress. It looks like I'm praying but I'm just reading.

    (Or maybe I am praying, to the god of Words and All Good Readings.)

    oh, I love this question~ I just finished reading the opening chapter of Italo Calvino's If on a Winter's Night a Traveler for English comp 1. (everyone go find it and have a read! it's very amusing)
    Anyways, off track...

    my favorite place to read is on a nicely cushioned chair near a window with indirect sunlight. Oddly, light bulbs make reading more difficult for my eyes.

    Italo Calvino is quite an author for English Comp, LOL! But yes, he can be quite amusing.

    Regarding the original question, when I have a choice, I like to read out on my porch in the daytime, and at night I like to sit in my recliner in the living room, with all the lights off except for my reading lamp.
