Where's your favourite place to read?
I used to read actual paperbacks on the hour bus to college everyday but finished college last week for the summer. I bought myself a PRS-600 at the weekend but can't seem to find anywhere i can sit down and settle to read. I've tried sitting in the conservatory, garden but can't find anywhere i casn really concentrate like i could on the bus.
What do you do? |

I can read anywhere. Shutting out the world is second nature.
My favorite places to read are on my deck in nice weather and in my room, sitting in my favorite chair. |

Bed at night, when it's dark, quiet, and no distractions except for one of my dogs changing positions on the bed (Maggie...she's never comfortable until I'm not )

Leisure--bed at night.
Work--either at my desk or the ikea chair in the corner of my office. |

I agree with recluse, I can read anywhere. Once I get into a book it really doesn't matter where I am.
However of course it is preferable if it is a quiet spot with somewhere comfortable to sit in the first place. |

At home I like the couch in front of the windows late afternoon when it's quiet and my husband is working on something else. Or the kitchen counter while I'm cooking (and yes, it does effect the meal quality ha ha)
We go to my in-laws place in FL often and that is probably my absolute favorite place-either on their dock early morning when everyone else is still asleep. |

I read anywhere, but most often in my easy chair in my book room.

Once I am involved in a story, I don't even notice where I am, but my favorite place to read is on my back patio.

In my recliner - which has arms wide enough for the cats - but they always fight for lap space with my ereader or book.
