Of course reading can be done anywhere, but where's your favourite place?

I like to read under the shady tree in the backyard, lying on my stomach. The back porch is nice too if it isn't too hot.

I don't like reading inside nearly as much. But I've had to lately, the weather here has been so damn hot and humid and smoggy. It's hard to breathe outside.

My favourite place to read is in the middle of my garden. I put a chair in the sun and start reading.

In my old place I used to come home from work and go out on the back patio and read well into the late evening. All through the summer I would sit out there, moving to avoid the sun as it set, chasing off the neighborhood cats to quiet mine own. Some nights if the book needed it I would pour about two knuckles of scotch and perhaps smoke a cigar...

Then I met a girl, we moved into an appartment with no good nooks for reading, and my evenings have become much more complicated. These days I read for an hour or two in bed before going to sleep...

I really like to read on my hammock (sp). Otherwise, a plain old couch, chair, or bed will do.

[Nimea]

Anywhere, if the book is good.

Most of the time I sit or lie on my couch, listening to music while reading. Or trying to ignore my boyfriend. ;)

I'm very particular about my reading places.They have to comfortable, in the shade, and within a reasonable distance of the fridge.I usually go for the sofa or lying on my bed.Nowhere else will do.

[Kingslayer]

Nimea, you can listen to music while reading?I envy you.Puts me off all the time,can't concentrate on the book.What volume do you have the music on.High or low?

[Miriamele]

I never listen to music when I read--it makes it impossible for me to concentrate.

When I was younger, my favorite place to read was in bed. For the last several years, it has been in my Aeron chair. It was expensive, but it has saved many backaches, and I consider it the best purchase I've ever made.

I love reading with music. In college I used to have a set up where I could sit and read instead of working... I'd get a new CD with each new book and only listen to that CD while reading that title. Now'a'days there's tons of songs that bring back all sorts of memories from certain books... It really helped to lock details in...

It was neat, the repetative nature of hearing the same music repeat through the many hours of reading a story, my brain would analyze the music at a whole other level... Then late at night the story and the music would meld and act in harmony...

Or there would be a song that simply demanded that I sing along with it, and so every hour it would come up and I'd put down the book and sing for a few minutes...


Oh, and Bill, the Aeron is a very cool chair. Good choice. Big $. I doubt I could read in it for pleasure though, I need to recline more.
