I had a bit of trouble with car sickness as a child, but for some reason, this disappeared entirely before I actually learned to read well enough to read books. From that time on, I never get sick, and can read books in a car just fine.
Now I can also travel any way I want: forward, backward, or sideways (in a bus or train), lying down (all directions, on back or stomach, in a night train), and while reading, or not reading. It doesn't make a difference anymore.
(Now I actually get annoyed when I get asked for the 10th time in a week, mostly by old ladies: "Could I sit there? I really can't drive backwards!" It's not funny when it's busy on a train. Be glad that there's room to sit at all :X Therefore I now choose to drive backward if I can. Then it's guaranteed that I'm not asked to switch places.)
I think I'd be able to read a book while lying in a hammock, that's strung up in a car that's driving circles on the deck of a ship. (There. Now you're a "green" person too. That's in fashion, isn't it?)
