All the places we like to read

I have to be comfortable, with little to no distractions, to really be able to absorb a book. A quiet place like a comfy couch or the bathroom works for me.

In the big red chair in my office, with the door closed and all the blinds up. At the Whistle Stop coffee shop. In bed. On the porch in the swing. In the break room at work. I have many favorite places.

I can't be the only one who wants to deep six people who interrupt with "What are you reading?" or "Is that a good book?" can I?

I don't mind being interrupted if I'm reading for entertainment but do mind when I'm working. Then, instead of "what are you reading?" my BF would ask "Are you working?" <sigh>

Fortunately, I accidentally solved the problem when I started using my PDA for books I'm reading for work. Now he can just look to see which e-reader I'm using and know whether it's okay to interrupt.

I read pretty much anywhere...PDA for work, a non-backlit LCD for out and about where I might want to read in sunlight, and a backlit LCD for bedtime.

I usually go out to eat by myself, so I read a lot there. I also like to read in the evenings before bed.

Here's a tip: if I'm reading? LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE.

Thank you and goodnight.

Amen. Even if I know and like you, bother me while I'm reading and (chances are) I won't like you for much longer. :/

My favorite, though, is when people do this: "Oh, you're reading that book? I love that book!" I don't care what you think of it. Shaddup and let me form my own opinion. xD We can talk once I've finished.

To stay on topic though, baths and bed are my favorite places. Sometimes on my porch while I keep my furry friends company.

If I don't have anyone buggin' me, I can read about anywhere. When I was laid up for a week with an injured knee, I sat out by the apartment pool and read the Flashman novels.
