As writers, reading is one of our best tools. We need to read voraciously. Thankfully we are in a group where there is plenty of writing to be devoured FREELY, let’s make good use of this DATA BANK by reading and commenting on stories we read.

where do you find most comfortable to read?

    Someone once asked me if i was feeling very well when he saw me standing at the bus stop in the night under the street lights, reading! How can you feel comfortable reading like that? I just smiled.

I read anywhere I feel like it – some books demand not to be put down till you get through them.

However…to get carried away with reading in a strange and unsafe place is to ask-for-it.

But I usually read any/everywhere reasonable and safe…not in the middle of the express.

Nothing weird about that, @Clemency. If the toilet is clean and well scented, it’s a great place to read.

Also, I read on my bed.

But unlike @ShewhoisLoved, I cannot comfortably read standing up.

I’m most comfy reading on my bed, on a bus or in a secluded place. There has to be constant sound ov something banging like a door or metal hitting metal or some form of noise. Otherwise, I’ll be asleep before I turn the next page no matter how interesting the book.

I like to feel I’m still alive while reading. Hence, the noise. No noise? Naaaah, nt 4 me. In fact, the louder the noise, the better.
