What Position Do You Read In?  |
|
 I am curious as to how you guys read. It seems I can never find a comfortable position to sit/lay in while I read. I end up getting a backache or my shoulders hurt. How do you read? Do you have a special place where you are more comfortable reading? Or a particular piece of furniture where you like to read? Like a favorite chair or something.
Also, do you enjoying reading outdoors? Like on the deck, at the beach or at a park. Sometimes when the weather is nice I will read outside.

1.  mygirls9901 (183)  | 4 months ago |  Typically I will lay on my back with pillows under my feet and if my back starts hurting I take my big long body pillow and put it between my knees and roll over on my side. But if I do the latter...I typically end up falling asleep:P I also like reading to my 6 year old daughter with her sitting right next to me and reading the words right along side me...but that's when we sit on the couch with my feet up on the coffee table and her sitting next to me in a ball on the couch.
I love to read everywhere...except for moving vehicles. I like reading outside even when it's snowing. Once, I grabbed a comforter, a nice warm cup of tea, my favorite book, and went outside to sit on my couch (that I had on the balcony) and watch the snow fall down around me while I read and stayed warm! And I even fell asleep out there!!! So yeah, I like to read all over...indoors, outdoors, on the couch, in my bed, feet up, or laying on my side.

| kel1483 (253) | 4 months ago | I can't really read in moving vehicles, either. It makes me dizzy.
When I read to my little nieces and nephews, I usually sit cross legged on the floor with them on my lap, so they can see the pictures and words. That's when they're still kind of little, but with the older ones we sit on the couch next to eachother usually.
Brrrr! I don't like cold weather and being out in the snow, so I don't think I could go outside in the winter and read. I love to see the snow fall outside through the window, but being out in it isn't my thing. It sounds like it was really relaxing and peaceful for you, though. | |

| mygirls9901 (183) | 4 months ago | Reading in a moving vehicle (even airplanes) makes me feel extremely sick so I'm glad I'm not the only one that has this problem. I got hurt in the Army so I can't sit on the floor with my daughter even though I would like to be able to. There are 5 kids in my house and the 2 youngest like to be read to and sometimes there just isn't enough room on the couch so we just go sit in my room with them on either side of me on my bed.
I typically don't fall asleep outside (especially in the Winter) but just that once I was so comfortable.:D Other than on the couch or floor with your nieces or nephews, where are some other places you like to read? I mean where do you go outside when it's warm? Do you do it as you tan or do you try to find a nice shady, warm place to read (like under a tree at a park)? | |

| kel1483 (253) | 4 months ago | I am not much of an outdoors person. I don't really like being out in the sun (I burn easily) so it's usually under a shade tree when I read outdoors. I don't do it as much now that I'm older, it was more so when I was a kids. My sister enjoys being out in the sun, so I will once in a while read while laying out in the sun, but I don't enjoy that as much. | |

|
| mygirls9901 (183) | 4 months ago | Kel, The only reason I don't read out in the sun that often is because the sun glares off the pages and when I go inside I'm blinded...LOL!!! Thanks for the best comment:D | |

| 2. bjcyrix (1170) | 4 months ago |  Hi! I always like to read while lying down. That because I usually read before I go to sleep. Otherwise I read while standing up.^_^ What I mean is I usually read the enws papers standing up. I dont know why. Its jsut more comfortable that way. With the paperbacks or any books I read them before going to bed. Its more relaxing that way and I can get to be engrossed more in the book. If my eyes are starting to get droopy or maybe Im near falling asleep well, I just put down the book beside my pillow then I sleep. When I wake up the enxt mornign I continue the book where I left off. I just read a few more pages or another full chapter before I leave my bed and get out of my room.^_^

| kel1483 (253) | 4 months ago | Sometimes I will read some ads or something in the newspaper standing up. Other than that, I usually only read standing up if I'm walking from one room to another. I usually only do that if I can't bear to put the book down for that long. I tend to read until I can't stay awake anymore. I just lay the book next to my bed and sometimes I start reading again as soon as I wake.

| 3. xplp211 (151) | 4 months ago |  I like reading on my bed. It is the most comfortable place for me, and I am happy to read a book that I love the whole night without interuption, although I will feel bad the next day. That kind of experience is a happy memory for me. And that is why I wore galsses when I was a little girl.
I don't like reading outdoors, because there is no chair more comfortable than bed and the sun always make my eyes hurt. I like to walk in the sun rather than sit.

| kel1483 (253) | 4 months ago | I like to read in bed, too. I don't think I've ever spent the entire night reading without going to bed. I have stayed up really late, like maybe 4 o'clock in the morning, but never not slept at all.
When I was a kid and would read outside, I'd sit under a nice shadey tree. That way it would keep me cool and keep the sun from bothering me. | |

4.  minnie_98214 (3895) | 4 months ago |  I can read just about anywhere as I love to read. My favorite spot has to be out on my raft in our pool its just so relaxing. I cant wait till its warm enough to get out pool set up.
| |

|
|
| kel1483 (253) | 4 months ago | We've never had a pool (well not one big enough to put a raft in), so I've never done that. I always see people in movies or on TV, though, on a raft reading in the pool. It seems like it would be really relaxing. It'd be a nice way to spend a summer day. | |

|
| minnie_98214 (3895) | 4 months ago | Me either till my neighbors kids grew up and he sold me his for $20 what a good deal. The liner costs about $120 each year but it is well worth it. Its just an above ground pool thats about 4 feet deep but its very wide so my raft can float along while i read. My hubby even built the kids a waterslide into the pool. | |
|
|
| kel1483 (253) | 4 months ago | Wow! That is a great deal. When I was a kid, we always just had those tiny little plastic ones. At most they were maybe two feet deep. Now that we're all grown we just don't have one at all. | |

6.  RenaCeline (165) | 4 months ago |  I have a few places and positions that I read in. Most of the time you can find me reading on the bus while I'm commuting to and from work or in the car with my dad or boyfriend. Other times I will read either laying down on the bed propped up by my elbow or sitting upright cross legged. Sometimes my back will start to hurt sitting upright so I will move backwards so my back is against the wall.

| 7. Anne18 (1333) | 4 months ago |  If I am reading in bed, I like to start sitting up in bed on my bottom with my legs streched out. If I am reading for a long time in bed I do like to turn over onto my side, normally my right side, as my btm does get sore sometimes.
If i am reading downstairs I like to curl up in the chair and tuck my feet under my bottom.
I do like to read in the garden, don't get much time to read in the garden as the children are normally out there nad wanting me to play with them or do the gardening.
I wish I had more time to read

| 8. itsmepinky (1146) | 4 months ago |  Generally i lie down when i am reading something. I normally take two soft pillows so that my neck doesnt hurt. I lie on my back and keep my legs straight while reading. If i am outside i prefer to choose a comfortable chair as i have back problems. I prefer not to read while travelling as it becomes very inconvenient.

| 9. Kowgirl (1789) | 4 months ago |  I usually read sitting in my recliner. I tilt it half way back and relax. Sometimes I fall asleep I get so relaxed. I sometimes read while in bed too. A few pillows to prop up on and one to hold the book. I like to read and I carry a book with me almost everywhere. I have gotten so engrossed in a book at the doctors office they have to call me a couple of times before I even hear them.

|
| kel1483 (253) | 4 months ago | A recliner would probably be a nice place to read. We unfortunately don't have one. We just have two not so comfy couches. That's funny that they had to call you a couple times while in the waiting room | |

| 10. taface412 (695) | 4 months ago |  I love to read before I go to bed. It helps me unwind fmr a stressful day and lets my thoughts focus on something else instead of what I haven't got done.
So I am usually propped up in bed, with my favorite jammies, pillows behind me, covers pulled up and usually I have my relaxation CD playing soft nature sounds in the background.
If the weather is nice I like to sit in my backyard facing my woods and read in the shade.

|
| kel1483 (253) | 4 months ago | Reading is a great way to unwind after a long day. Also, a good way to procrastinate a bit more ha. Sometimes I have background noise while reading, but other times I like it really quiet. | |
