Best Reading Attire? My vote: Snuggie

One of the definitions of the controversial word "liseuse" is "a jacket worn by women for reading in bed". This accurately describes my Snuggie.

I am asserting that the Snuggie is the best reading garment ever invented. What do you think?

Naw... swimwear.

This achieves its best effect when reading on the beach, of course.

Oh, no. The "misuse" vs. "ebook reader" wasn't bad enough-- now we enter the bloody fray over "snuggie" vs. "slanket."

Either way, have a some videos!

While the Slanket is the Rolls Royce of wearable blankets, it's too expensive and too long for me. Here's a good comparison.

Also, the Slanket is not good for pub crawls. There is no such thing as a Slanket pub crawl, and the Slanket people are bitter. Read about it here.

I take that back. The Blankoat is the Rolls Royce of wearable blankets. It's made from the wool of Icelandic sheep and it costs more than a Kindle.

It's always nice when one's conflumoxxing can be corrected in a succinct and direct manner. Thanks, Xenophone!

I prefer my jackets to not be on fire. I also wear a football helmit while reading. Especially when Ann Coulter is involved...

I would love to know how Ann Coulter is involved when you read and why her involvement necessitates skull protection.

I've found that if I want to read on the beach, it's best if I don't wear swimwear.

There's two reasons for this.

Firstly is that exposing vast amounts of white flesh to the sun tends to blind passers-by and they walk into things (and occasionally each other), making a lot of noise which is not conducive to pleasant reading.

The second is that I keep being interrupted by well-meaning folk who try to drag me into the water (see comment above on the vast amounts of white flesh...)

What is a snuggie?

I don't care what I'm wearing, as long as I can read while wearing it.
