If it can be read, it can be discussed here.

    Re: Where do you read?
    I like to read in bed, although I always end up falling asleep, haha.

    When I need to read for class, I either read in the kitchen (because eating something keeps me awake), or in front of my computer where I simultaneously play some music and check my Facebook. It's a pity that society has led me to be a multitasker in this way, I used to be able to concentrate on a book a lot better...

    On the train, unless some jerk decides to have a loud conversation on his/her mobile. That just kills it for me. I also read in bed but my arm goes numb after a while.
    That happens to often... there is almost always someone chatting on the phone or something.

    In bed while I'm at uni. When I'm at home I read on the sofa or in bed. I read on the train too whilst travelling.

    I like reading in the bathroom, like in the bath when it's empty, in bed or in the car.
    How odd...

    In bed, on the bus and train, on the toilet, at the table at the canteen at work, on the sofa, at the bus stop when I'm waiting for a bus.

    Re: Where do you read?
    I read on trains. Love reading on trains. I switch off to the world, sit back and just enjoy my book. When you are on a course like mine, where time is pretty precious, it is nice to be able to read guilt free for a while. I can't on buses/in the car though - I get terribly motion sick [I'm just lucky that trains seem to be the one mode of transport where I don't].

    I also enjoy reading in bed and when out somewhere nice. Eg, sat up on the balcony of the Ashton Memorial overlooking Lancaster and Morecambe bay.

    Usually in bed, but I love reading in the garden when the weathers nice.
    I wish I could read on public transport! It would pass on so many boring hours, but if I'm not looking out of a window I tend to get travel sickness.

    Couch, bed and the back seat of the car on long journeys.

    Mainly in my living room or in doctors waiting rooms. Sometimes in a car if it's a nice day and I want to be by the beach.

    Re: Where do you read?
    Anywhere and everywhere. I've recently rediscovered the awesomeness of books and find that in my spare time, I can read on the bus, in cafés, in the library, in bed, on the toilet, in the bath, in random corridors around college. The possibilities are endless. I'm sure that I'd take a book to the shower if I could find a way to waterproof it.

    My favorite place to read is on the train, then on a couch, then in the shade on a beach, then in bed, not all in the one day though :p:

    That's a nice story, glad you got into reading.
    when I read which is rare now, I like a comfy chair but not the bed because it takes too much effort to lean half your weight on your elbows for extended periods of time.
