Where is your favorite place to read?

>>9021556
In your mother's bedroom

>>9021556
I sit hunched over, with elbows on knees, on a leather couch in the comfort of my living room. Find it hard to read in public

>>9021556
In a quiet kitchen with a steaming coffee and some toast

>>9021556
the bathtub

Lying on my chaise longue.

Did I mention I have a chaise longue? I have a chaise longue. You should get one.

In the cupboard

>>9021556
in the summer, outside. Sometimes in my backyard, sometimes where I can listen to the city and people living their lives.

I wish I didnt have anxiety and could feel more comfortable reading at coffee places and other public spaces. I read on the train and bus every day, but sometimes I like to go and get some coffee or a park, but this is a very anti-intellectual city and someone reading in public spaces is a rare thing.

How do you guys manage to ignore all the noise in public places?

I miss reading in my favorite park at my hometown...really a comfy place

>>9024546
by being engrossed by what you're reading

>>9024546
By being autistic

inside my own ass

>>9024563
Why don't you read there anymore?

I read aloud on the bus. I am like one of those boom box Negros.

>Spend most of the year in the University city
>Not a lot of freetime

But sometimes, expecially during summer, I return to that place

>Tfw comes to mind the memory of reading at the park during the september of a few years ago, before starting the Uni, before almost everything went to shit...

>>9024546
For me, noise is like silence. As long as its just chaotic enough to blend together, i can focus. But if theres like a radio or something thats decidely louder than whats around it i cant focus at all

In my house you cucked bitch. I don't read for attention like a woman.

>>9021556
Wherever I can smoke.

Are you aware of how you sound?

>>9026086
I don't really care

>>9021556
I've been to that bookstore in that picture, it's in paris and it's way to narrow and crowded

>>9022646
You're going to fuck your back over. Sitting for long periods of time is bad enough.

Most of my quality reading is done on the toilet. Often times I clean and scrub the toilet so it is sparkling clean and will just sit on it as though I were to take a shit but just read for hours.
Comfy seat height, cool tiled floor, pleasant clean smell. Perfect.

Your mom's bedroom OP.

I like the city sounds too.

Big public parks (pic related, specifically) or on the riverbanks are just too dang comfy

I also like to read by candlelight in my bed at night with all the windows open, even now during the winter

I unironically like to lay on a pool table and read. It feels very clean.

I also have a papasan (pic related) that's comfy af to read in. Easier to fall asleep though, which happens more than it should because I usually read after I'm done with school/work.

>>9024546
Headphones and instrumental music. Classical is easiest, but there are plenty of bands whose songs melt into the bacground, e.g., pink floyd, fleetwood mac.

Out on my porch in the summer or floating in the pool. I like to tan while I read.

On my toilet, the lighting is ideal and the fan is soothing.

To shitpost, friend.

>>9028493
What the fuck

>>9023750
I've never been able to understand the idea that someone reading in a cafe would ever seem strange. I've visited and lived in many countries and I can genuinely say I have never been to a place where this would be strange. Everyone is either chatting or looking at laptop, phone book.

I think this is in your head anon, no one cares if you read a book.

>Implying I read for more than 2 mins each day.

But no, you're right. It's because I have my laptop on the coffee table in case I need to look up definitions, which is often

>>9021556
I do not want to derail the thread, but why would anyone get a kindle?
My mother has a kindle and it is the worst piece of crap imaginable.
It only reads one type of file format, the touch screen is terrible, the processor is slow, and it has a limited storage capacity.

Kindles at least, have built in dictionaries. It's my favorite feature (I absolutely love looking up words). It even includes outdated language. But sometimes it doesn't know borrowed words or slang, stuff like that. I think you can add more, though...

>>9024684
For me its when there is noise in the same language that im reading like tv or annoying people talking.

>>9031414
I appreciate the aesthetic of physicals too much. The cover art, smell, feel, all that gay shit. I try to buy second hand, older publications to squeeze in any romanticism I can. Keeps me coming back. That being said, I've never used a Kindle and they seem widely used among the community here. Might get one.

>>9031459
Don't get a kindle, get a real tablet

>>9031485
That actually seems like a pretty good idea. Thx retard!!

Pubs, mate. My local (not pic related, sadly) has no TVs or music, only a fireplace and people drinking away.

>>9032035
That sounds awesome, I wish there were places like that where I live.

>>9032038
Beer selection is sort of shit, but I don't like to drink too much anyway.

>>9022651
that sounds so comfy

>>9023668
You just know the toilets in there are awful. But nice house

>>9024664
know that feel bro, uni can be extremely stressfull

in my house

>>9032035
Is that in Coober Pedy? Those underground houses seem comfy as fuck for reading too.

>>9031435
I hate the fucking tv of my mother
