Alone. My mind gets interested in people watching if I’m in public. And God forbid reading at lunchtime at the office. I’ll sit at a table, book in hand and people will sit and apologize they are interrupting my reading —- and stay!!
This is the exact reason why I can’t read at the library. I get distracted by all of the people. And I can’t stop myself from picking up all of the books.
In the summer I like to take the boat out and just bob around in the bay as I read. I can’t read in public though, I’m a notorious people watcher and never get anywhere in the book if I try. ?
I can read anywhere, but my favourite place is in the bath ? feels like I’m properly decompressing. My other place is my bed ? and another is laying on a sun lounger in the sun ☀️?
I also take the train/bus and I find that I only people watch when they are making an obsessive amount of noise. I was actually thinking about going and riding the train all day tomorrow while reading just to get out of the house. @Walter
My husband didn’t either which is why I was reading on the balcony. He was suffering with a kidney stone for our 10 day cruise. Thank goodness we upgraded to a balcony room. I spent ALOT of time on that balcony.
I don’t go anywhere without a book or my MP3 player. So while I feel funny listening to a book on tape in someplace like the doctors office, I don’t have a problem taking my book with me. I’ll even take my book to the casinos because my husband likes to gamble, me, just put me in a corner or at the bar lounge with a book and/or my stitching.
I can read in public as long as nobody is trying to chat with me. At home I generally read in the same spot I watch tv, play around online, games, which is a comfy arm chair by the window. My only complaint is that it’s a bit drafty.
I enjoy reading any and everywhere but my personal favorite would be near any body of water. it is soothing and relaxing to me. i sometimes drive to the park in our area that has a lake and a fountain and i sit and read.
@Lee no a fountain. it would be pretty big if it had a mountain(LOL) but i do love mountains to and we do have parks about 1 hour away that have views of the mountain because the city is in the mountains and it is stunning there also.
@Hannah I thought you meant something like a National Park, hence the mountain…but, in hindsight, a fountain makes much more sense! ha ha. I try and ski each year and love to sit on the balcony of the hotel, surrounded by the French Alps, and read. Very relaxing.
At home
by my pool
I get too distracted if I read out in public. I’d rather read at home surrounded by pillows and blankets.
At home
Alone. My mind gets interested in people watching if I’m in public. And God forbid reading at lunchtime at the office. I’ll sit at a table, book in hand and people will sit and apologize they are interrupting my reading —- and stay!!
Anywhere…as long as I’m in a comfy chair!
My recliner looking out the bay window
I get distracted. I like solitude.
This is the exact reason why I can’t read at the library. I get distracted by all of the people. And I can’t stop myself from picking up all of the books.
I agree, I’m terrible for people watching!
Guilty…
I love reading in bed, but I can read most places, I can’t read when I’m with friends or in the staff room qhen lot’s of talking is going on
In a hot bubble bath
Yup, can stay for hours topping up the hot water ?
Favorite is at home, but I enjoy reading everywhere!
At home.
I can read anywhere.
Are you easily distracted?
Home library in a large reclining leather Barca Lounger.
You have a home library? That’s amazing.!
Sounds much more fancy than it is. But yes, I have claimed this room!
Nice?
Anywhere but love to read in bed!
Bed with my cats
On my couch at home, or in bed if I’m feeling BLEH. I read in the library or outside, but my couch is my go to place.
My bedroom I get distracted in public by all the noises
Anywhere. Enjoy coffee shops, steps outside work feeling the sunshine, or home. Only place I cannot read is in cars, more is the pity.
I start feeling quite sick when reading in cars. ?
I have travel sickness if I’m not driving so definitely not a car ?
In a warm bed surrounded by my furry friends.
At home on my rocking chair!
My bedroom in my whatever those round bamboo chairs are called.
My bedroom in my chair
I finally have a “library” in my house, I like to read there, coffee shop, restaurant, wherever I can get some alone time
? ?
Anywhere I can to be honest
I like to read in my bedroom with my pillow behind me, I do read in public sometimes depends where I’m at.
My favorite place is on the porch in nice weather and in bed when it’s cold but I carry a book to every appointment and read in waiting rooms
I downloaded the kindle app on my phone for exactly that purpose Elizabeth. ?
In my comfy bed at home or looking out onto the Atlantic Ocean!
?❤️??
Ramtop Mountains today…Hubwards ?
My bed ? best public place is the park, under a tree in summer… but I’ll take reading in the lunchroom at work over hot soup til then.
Just about anywhere, I try to always have a book with me.
home or car lol
Anywhere quiet
Same!
At home sitting in my chair with the TV off
In warm climates, preferably in a hammock. <3 Or at my grandparents' house. I don't like reading in public, but I will read on airplanes.
My favorite place to read is in my bed surrounded by my comfy pillows or the library where it is nice and quiet
In the summer I like to take the boat out and just bob around in the bay as I read. I can’t read in public though, I’m a notorious people watcher and never get anywhere in the book if I try. ?
Trains, parks, cafes or at home in a comfy chair. Anywhere I can sit down and get a book out basically!
on my terrace, but don’t feel so comfortable in public (other than nice outdoor parks)
Lying in/on the bed
Yes, anywhere quiet.
Wherever it is quiet.
The bath! My daughter tells me off for getting my books soggy ? fair point as I lecture the kids about looking after their own books ?
Anywhere and everywhere
I can read anywhere, but my favourite place is in the bath ? feels like I’m properly decompressing. My other place is my bed ? and another is laying on a sun lounger in the sun ☀️?
Armchair, couch, bed, library, under a tree, on the bus/train/subway/plane, in the bath, on the potty, in a hammock, on a floating water thingie…
sooooo…anywhere ?
On my porch in the early morning before the heat comes creeping up. By myself with coffee in hand!
that sounds so relaxing
Read at Pizza Hut while awaiting my pizza.
Ha ha, and that’s where the kindle app comes in perfectly! ?
My favourite place to read is on a subbed in a different country getting tan by the sun
you like to travel?
@Susie yes x
I like to read in the car or at home. I get distracted in public because I love to people watch too.
you don’t get carsick?
Nope! ?
Well, considering that I get most of my reading done on trains and the like, I would say yes.
so you’re not a big people watcher? Do you get distracted easily?
I can people watch along with reading but I find reading to be a better way of spending time on the train, like today.
I also take the train/bus and I find that I only people watch when they are making an obsessive amount of noise. I was actually thinking about going and riding the train all day tomorrow while reading just to get out of the house. @Walter
Inside a moving jeepney
hmmm….what’s a jeepney?
Favorite place to read is in my bed and my favorite chair in the house
In bed surrounded with absolute quiet ☺️
Anywhere, everywhere! Lol Especially if I’m really into a book, then it’s harder to get me to put it down when I shouldn’t be reading ??
Me too. I read everywhere. I always have a book or my tablet!
I feel so lost if I forget my book at home for any reason…even if I don’t get a chance to read while I’m out ?
I do this also. If I’m somewhere I don’t want to be (surrounded by people), I’m quick to pull out my phone and read a book.
Luv your chair
Thank u!! 9 bucks on 50% off day at Goodwill a couple years ago!!
@Stephanie heck ya!!! Love retro and the cozy deep is the bomb!!! As soon as our house is built will be looking for similar!
I prefer reading in my room. I don’t like the idea of reading in public.
I enjoy reading in the library and in my own room
I can’t seem to concentrate in the library. I tend to pick up all of the books.
I enjoy reading anywhere!!! But it is awfully wonderful sitting under the palms on the beach watching the waves roll in.
There’s nothing like sitting on the balcony of a cruise ship reading or listening to a book. 🙂
@Kathie Unfortunately I do not handle cruises well.
My husband didn’t either which is why I was reading on the balcony. He was suffering with a kidney stone for our 10 day cruise. Thank goodness we upgraded to a balcony room. I spent ALOT of time on that balcony.
@Kathie lol
@Kathie Yessss…that’s one of my favorite places to read. I remember one of the boats I was on had a library.
I’m with you there @Kathie. We always pay extra for a balcony just for that very purpose! I love it. ?
I don’t go anywhere without a book or my MP3 player. So while I feel funny listening to a book on tape in someplace like the doctors office, I don’t have a problem taking my book with me. I’ll even take my book to the casinos because my husband likes to gamble, me, just put me in a corner or at the bar lounge with a book and/or my stitching.
that looks so nice.! I’ve been thinking about going to a park, idk what’s stopping me though.
I totally need that chair. It looks so comfy.
Anywhere but usually on my comfy chair by the fireplace.
Wherever and whenever I can!
I think it’s from the 70’s so good luck! Lol!!
I like to read anywhere I can get the chance to. Public or private.
My bed. But i do not go anywhere without a book.
I don’t care where I am
I read and read and read
I looove to read in nature, gardens, beaches….
I love reading in my bed, but anywhere is good really, as long as i can read
Depends.usually in the bath or in bed at night when I’m not being spoke to is vest
I can read in public as long as nobody is trying to chat with me. At home I generally read in the same spot I watch tv, play around online, games, which is a comfy arm chair by the window. My only complaint is that it’s a bit drafty.
I read anywhere it is quiet. I don’t know how people read in bed. It is too uncomfortable for me. I have to sit up.
i dont mind where i am reading as long as i’m reading xD
In bed!
I enjoy reading any and everywhere but my personal favorite would be near any body of water. it is soothing and relaxing to me. i sometimes drive to the park in our area that has a lake and a fountain and i sit and read.
Near water or mountains…I’ll second that Hannah. ?
@Lee yes. mountains that is a lovely place also!
@Hannah Ha, sorry…I misread your initial comment. I thought you said a lake and mountain! I did think that it must be a pretty big park.
@Lee no a fountain. it would be pretty big if it had a mountain(LOL) but i do love mountains to and we do have parks about 1 hour away that have views of the mountain because the city is in the mountains and it is stunning there also.
@Hannah I thought you meant something like a National Park, hence the mountain…but, in hindsight, a fountain makes much more sense! ha ha. I try and ski each year and love to sit on the balcony of the hotel, surrounded by the French Alps, and read. Very relaxing.
@Lee that sounds amazing! and relaxing!
In my reading chair at home… or right now I am reading by the fire on vacation so that nice too. ??lots of extra reading time this week!!
Everywhere
In my house. Sometimes in coffee shops when there are not many people.
I can read anywhere.
