supergran71 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 In bed mostly. Usually too busy any other time, although I do manage a page or two at breakfast time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carm Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 i usually read on the subwat coming home...my favorite place though to read is nestled under my beloved's arm cuddled on the sofa- carm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I love a good book and I love a good soak in the tub, so combining the two is sheer bliss. I always have at least a half-hour reading sesh in the bath every night. More often than not it's longer than that and I've been known to stay in the tub, getting all pruny and topping up the hot water for anything up to 3 hours if I'm really getting into a book! I also adore sitting out with a book on sunny days - there's a nice grassy bank right near our flats (you can see it from our kitchen window) and it's nice to spread out on a mat there and lose myself in a book. Other than that, curled up in bed or on the sofa is good with a book too! And each day at work, I read over my lunch period - I just stick myself in the corner and dive in...

Angel Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 My favourite place is curled up on the settee. I will occassionally read in bed. Everyday I plonk myself in the corner of the staff restaurant and lock myself away in my own world for half an hour. This is the only time of the working day that I have to myself.

madcow Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Curled up on my bed with loads of pillows and my boys asleep at my feet, or best of all lounging on the sofa when everybody else is out of the house, no tv no radio just me and a book...bliss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen1 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I usually read in bed, or failing that sprawled out on my bed. I also like to snuggle up on the sofa in front of the fire with a good book. Pure bliss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laramie Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I usually read on my bed, but sometimes I have to read at school, and that isn't nearly as good. Oh, and I read in the bath too. Always. Or I get bored!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I like sitting outside (weather permitting!) and also reading in bed but unfortunately these days I tend to fall asleep after a coule of pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen1 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I also forgot to say that during the summer or whenever the weather is good enough, I go across to the park in my lunch hour and sit on one of the beaches and read. I used to read in the bath when I was younger, but I prefer showers now so reading's not really an option. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I love it when it is warm enough to sit out in the garden and read - not done that so much this summer, also I like to sit in a chair near the window where there is plenty of light and I read in bed for half an hour or so before going to sleep:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyB Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Either early in the morning in bed (night time a no, no as I fall asleep too easily) or in the corner of our L shaped settee in the conservatory (in the sun on a good day). I also read in the staff room at work - we tend to lunch on our own as we cover each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 On the couch in the living room, with a glass of juice or something next to me at all times, sometimes with a blanket. I will often end up falling asleep, though...my boyfriend calls it my nap couch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblomov Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 We have some Indian wicker short stools called moda. I have one in my home office near the radiator. I like to sit on it with my legs stretched out in front and read, leaning back against the radiator, enjoying the cool metal on hot days and vice versa.

Icecream Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Seeing as I have a young baby, anywhere I can is my fave place! I read a couple of pages in the bath in the morning, but I have to get Katie up so I make sure I stop. I feel good if I get that couple in. Otherwise, it is anywhere during the day, which depends largely on Katie. At night I read in bed and OH comes up sometimes and moves my book off his pillow to get in bed. I think my favourite place at the moment is the car, as that is where I can truly get away from Katie long enough to read properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyB Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 It's so hard with little ones - I didn't read much for years when mine were young - I'm making up for lost time now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ii Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 My newly redecorated study has the nices, softest sofas I've ever seen, so they're one of my favourite place. Then there's the old armchair in my bedroom, which I found from a flea market in Paris and had ... what's the word, I blacked out... reupholstered?... It's big enough for me to curl up in it, and I really like the calming yet warm colours in my bedroom (white and dark brown) so that's one of my favourites. When the chair is not covered in cast-off clothes and handbags, that it. I forgot to add the hammock at my BF's parents' summer place. It's big enough for two and therefore fits pillows and a throw. I just usually fall asleep there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beef Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I have a leather chair that goes back and the bottom slides out a little so your half laying, combined with the foot stool, its the best chair i have ever personally owned. That is where my reading is done* as its comfy and after sitting on it for about 5-10 min it gets nice and warm but not so warm its uncomfy, i love that chair! * Unless its comics, as i do sometimes enjoy going outside and enjoying the sun with a comic (i dunno why, i generally hate the sun but put a comic in my hand and im there :s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icecream Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 We have one of those Beef, unfortunately, it is in the corner in front of the window, as we have far too much furniture and junk. The front room is one of the rooms I have managed to keep fairly junk free. it doesn't lok too bad, but it is still a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
