    Default Best Place to Read?

    What are some best places or favorite places for you to concentrate on your reading?

    Answers like the bathroom/restroom or library need not respond.

    LOL why not? I for one would like to admit that I get A LOT of reading done in the bathroom. The lighting is excellent and there is absolutely no food or noise to disturb me.

    On the other hand, the library is horrible. Some guy always shows up that I have to talk to and we end up holding a conversation for the whole time instead of me getting anything done.

    I know! I love reading in the bathroom. Especially when I'm just soaking in the tub for hours and hours.

    Read in the kitchen? Are you kidding? The kitchen is the busiest place in the house! People be bothering me to cook them this and that and so forth.

    Yeah I agree with you on the library too. People don't go there to read, they only go there to check out books to read at home. Most of the time they're just chit chatting.

    It depends on what you are reading. Like GuGu, I like to enjoy a good romance or a suspense novel when I'm soaking in a nice warm bath. But if I'm reading reports, data, or other work related materials, then I do it on my bed, beside my computer where I can easily gain access to music or the internet whenever my eyes need a break. Like right now, I need to read some boring standards manual, but I’m distracted with surfing on youtube for music instead.

    I like romance novels.
    And when I'm on the toilet I like to read those Gossip magazines, they make me laugh and forget about what I'm doing.
    And yes, laying in bed all bundled up and reading can be very relaxing too. Most of the time I play a little music from my laptop too.
    Another place I love to read is in the car during long trips. Of course I'm not driving. I'm not that talented.

    No way, that will guarantee to give me a headache and makes me sleepy. How about reading at the parks, coffee shops, and/or bookstores such as, Starbucks, Barnes & Nobles, or Borders? I know I go there to read for free all the time.

    I read usually in my room. Near to the pc, so I can look up new words and new terminologies easily. Wikipedia is a good friend for that.

    I often read in the class.

    I like to read in the garage on chilly days, right next to the laundry machine.
    Other places include the car(when I`m getting a ride), the bubble bath, and in classes where I don`t feel compelled to strike up conversation.

    I usually read on my bed while lying down on my stomach.

    But recently I've been reading in front of my computer. Why? Because I'm reaching wuxia translations!

    I only read inside my room facing the computer or laying on the bed.

    The best place is lying on a beach in the Caribbean. Since I like to read more than once very five years or so, my favourite place is the bus, cuz that's where I do most of my reading. In bed is good too.

    One of the worse place to read is in the toilet while you are unloading. That's how many people developed hemorrhoids because they sat 10+ and putting pressure on their arse. Thus, veins inside your anus protrude or pop out of your a-hole.

    The best place is the place that you feel comfortable and can concentrate on the stuff you are reading. But more importantly, it's about you. Ask yourself, "do I really want to read?"
