    I think I'm the one weirdo in the world who does NOT enjoy reading on the beach. I can never get comfortable.

    Agreed. If there is a hammock involved? Absolutely. Otherwise, nope. 

    I would say cozy chair by a fire, soft blanket, warm drinks.

    In my own bed on a cool, rainy fall day. I love the smell of fall, and listening to the rain while I'm cozy under my blankets.

    I don't have a great spot. I wish I had a big comfy chair. I usually just read on my couch...or in bed.

    These are like dream reading spots...

    or this...that chair looks awesome!

    Somewhere exotic or somewhere cozy. Like a hammock on the beach when it's not too hot out. Or a comfy chair by a fire with a blanket and warm drink...ooh with it raining outside!

    I love reading in bed. I rarely read anywhere else in my house besides there.

    A beach shack on Candolim Beach in Goa, India.

    I can read a page-turner just about anywhere, but I managed to read Pragmatic Unit Testing and The Mythical Man Month cover-to-cover there on different occasions.

    Lounging on a nice cushiony lounge chair by a pool!  Or in a comfy chair by a fireplace.  Those both sound wonderful!

    I wish it were a better picture, but I would love to be reading in my almost finished nook right now.  I just went in to a take a picture, but the whole room is covered in boxes from the kitchen remodel and spare room.  I can't wait to get my nook back.

    I don't have a picture, but my parents have an AWESOME, cushioned front porch swing at their beach house, and it's the perfect spot for reading. Sigh. Wish I were there now.

    I love reading outside. We have a pretty comfy couch on the porch that is just right for reading.

    I am not an outside reader either.  I usually get distracted.  I love reading in my family room though, all snuggled in a blanket with my Tervis cup filled with tea otherwise I will spill it.  :)

    I am not typically an outside reader but I think this thing would be awesome. As long as I had a hot shirtless dude bringing me snack and drinks as needed.  ;;)   Not the guy in the pic, btw. He is not my cup of tea.

    If I could go anywhere it would be a beach with a drink but my actual favorite place is in my huge bathtub!
