All the time! Good book and a hot bath makes the world go away.

Always read in the bath tub :)
It's so bad sometimes I come out looking like an old lady. I just can't put a good book down!

Oh yes, many times. Not as often in the last few years though, since I use my Kindle a lot more now and I'm afraid I will drop it in the water! :lol:

No. I have a fear of ruining my books.

I actually read quite often while taking a bath. I never read actual books, but I often read a lot of ebooks. I have a kindle fire, and I am able to read ebooks on my kindle fire. Reading while bathing puts me in a soothing state of mind. I guess you can say it relaxes me, plus I love to read!

Yes. Of course. There's no point in taking a bath unless a book is also involved.

I did it only once and I loved it. Unfortunately I don't have a bath at home :(

Emm, I have fallen asleep reading in the bath, maybe because the book was not that good, or perhaps it was due to the large glass of wine!

I've done it in the past.. Love doing it, but i'm always afraid the books will end up wet. Maybe I should start doing it more.. Because it is indeed really relaxing!

I read in the bath whenever I get the chance! I've been known to refill the tub with new hot water because I'm not ready to stop reading yet. Years ago I bought one of those bathtub trays that can hold a book and a wine glass - best bath accessory ever! I use a large ziploc when I'm reading on my Kindle, otherwise I just do my best to keep paper books as dry as possible.

Ziploc baggie! What a great idea for the Kindle, I never would have thought of it. Thanks!
