I like to read sitting at the dinning room table.

I used to like to read in complete silence but family life made me adapt so now I can just shut off and read anywhere. Favourite place would be on one of our comfy old sofas with a cup of tea - or preferably a glass of chilled NZ Sauvignon. Football on TV in the background is even better as I know I'm not going to be interrupted by my other half!

I love reading in my bed. x

I like to read in my bed. nice and quiet no distractions

I love reading snuggled up in bed with a hot chocolate! It's the perfect way to settle in for the night

Every night I look forward to a snuggly half hour in bed reading which ever nordic crime book I have on the go - then lights out and sleep! It has been known for insomnia to raise its head an hour later - so on with the bedside light and a little more reading until I fall asleep again - often with light on and the book in hand!!

My favourite place to read is a window seat in a cafe opposite the local riding stables. I know the horses, and I love to see them turning out for a ride. I time my arrival so that I'm ensconced well before the ride starts; sometimes I'm still there when they come back.

In bed

I've just bought a new chair for my Man Cave, so that's my new favourite place to read.

I love to get into bed with the electric blanket on and have half an hour before I can't keep my eyes open anymore... such a nice time of day.

I don't focus vey well when trying to read while sat in a chair, but curled up in bed, glasses off and book at the end of my nose is great and I read lots!! And if one of the cats come to join me so much the better

My favourite two places for reading - being a Gemini, two choices are mandatory - are in bed with a variety of pillows and cushions, wearing a special set of 3+ glasses, and in the bath most days from about 10 to 11am. The first choice is for end-of-day reading, usually fiction; the second more often involves a set task in reading, i.e. something I shall be reviewing, or need to study, often both. In a former life, I must have been born in the East, where the art of bathing was much more advanced than in the West until quite recently. When the going really gets tough, I add aromatherapy oils or Himalayan salt to the experience.

I agree with the snuggled up in bed, away from all distractions and family wanting my attention!

What a great prize for Christmas and the new year. Lots of books - mmm..!

I read on the sofa, in my armchair,, in bed, at the kitchen table, in the garden, on the bus, on the train up and down from DH's hospital in London, in waiting rooms- just about the only place I don't read (you will be glad to hear) is while I am driving.

I love getting into bed early & snuggling down under the covers with a hot water bottle & burying myself in a good book! My only problem is putting down the book so I can get some sleep.. I would much rather spend all night reading & have a loong lie-in in the morning

Snuggled up in bed with my labrador on the rug by the side. She usually ends up on the bed too!

on the settee

Has to be on the sunbed in Tenerife. Even though an ebook makes sense when trying to reduce the weight of your flight case, you cannot beat the 'real thing' in it's physical form.

On a very old Parker Knoll chair in the corner of the conservatory. Even in winter it's warm as it faces south and gets the sun. I can ignore the phone, the doorbell and relax uninterrupted in perfect peace.
With an unputdownable book, it's the simple things in life that bring the most pleasure. Total bliss. Fingers crossed!

mrsmopp - are you me? My favourite place is also my old Parker Knoll Bosworth armchair - it has a lovely high back - with footstool for my achy legs! My head lolls against one of the wings, cup of tea by my side. Lovely.

I love reading a book snuggled up in bed with a hot mug of milky chocolate, thats where nobody can disturb me and I can really get into a book.

From a very early age , in the 1960s ,when reading books such as Enid Blytons Mallory Towers I've always made a nest on the floor with cushions near the then newly installed fancy radiators ! (any radiator would do top/bottom of stairs anywhere I can find peace and quiet )...then I snuggle up with the radiator warming my back and get lost in a book .. I must say I prefer a book to any reading device I love to ' feel ' where I am in a book and relish the fact that I've still got lots left ! I did this with my children on stormy winter afternoons and now even my Gc are reading books perched on beanbags snuggled under fleece blankets... Lovely to see them do it ... It's become a real family tradition
