Laying down on the bed, Sitting on the couch, Sitting up straight on the chair.. or probably any other unique position to read? What is your most comfortable position to read?

I like to curl up in bed with my books right before I go to sleep. It is the most comfortable and enjoyable for me, and for some reason (probably at least partly because I am a night person) it is when I delve deepest into the whatever book I am reading, so I am more motivated to finish reading it.

i spent most of the time reading in bed as well. Most of the time I planned to read just for around 30 minutes, but then it always ends up for hours.

I change positions all the time. Sometimes i'll lay down on my back or on my tummy. Or i'll just sit on the couch. Most of the time I read laying in the bathtub.

I'm always afraid that I would drop the book if I'd bring it me in the bathtub.

hi QueenMIdas my best reading position is lying down on my left side on my bed, curled up like a kitten and reading away until I fall asleep and drop the book on the floor. lol. It is my best reading and falling asleep position too. lol.

hmm,I really love to read books, it was my favorite pastime. Usually the most comfortable position for me to read is laying down on the bed. My body is stretch and relax in that position than sitting.

I would say one of the more comfortable yet not as harmful position for reading will be to sit down on the sofa with your arms, legs and neck rested well. It makes you comfortable yet maintain a sitting position for your eye. You will need a really soft and relatively big sofa though, preferably for 1 person. Lying down and read is defintely not beneficial to the eyes.

My reading time is in bed at night, so I like to prop myself up with a couple of big, fat pillows, and have a large iced coffee next to me ... then I read until I can't keep my eyes open any longer. BLISS!!

i love to read books! i can read them almost everywhere when i have nothing else to do.. i can read them while sitting or while in the car.. but i most likely read while im in bed,, facing sideway. i feel really comfortable in that position.
