Yep, I have even been brave enough to take the ereader into the bath. So far no accidents. Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself.

It's actually comforting I feel more connected to the book because it has my complete attention.

I only like to reread books I know are amazing in a bath. It helps with the relaxation, no worries of the book going bad and ruining a nice bath.

Only once actually. I was having a relaxing break - all on my lonesome - and was in the middle of The Silver Linings Playbook, which I just couldn't put down even for the bath. Was scared of dropping it in though, so probably would try and avoid in the future!

I have not since I am afraid I would get the book wet with my clumsiness. Although music is always being played.

I love reading in the bath, but it's always a book I've already read. Most of my new books are on my eReader or my iPad and I don't take those in the bath.

I can't risk dropping my books. I also find baths to be disgusting. I know that they can be relaxing but I just see them as sitting in your own filth. I just can't do it. I definitly prefer showering.

Latest Review: "A Vision of Angels" by Timothy Jay Smith

Post by KLyons1 »

I wanted to try, because of the romantic image that is created by the scene of a relaxing bubble bath with a good book to add to the relaxation and enjoyment. But I worried about getting the book wet, thereby ruining said relaxation. So I've tried, on a couple of occasions, with a magazine to read - and found that it's not relaxing because it's still hard to keep both hands try to turn the pages. Also, sinking as deep as I'd like into the tub relates to holding the magazine at an uncomfortable angle ... which leads to the conclusion that it's not worth it. Instead I enjoy a hot massage-type shower, then curl up under a warm blanket with my book and a snack, and relax that way.

No and I don't understand how people can do that. I consider them 2 separate activities, that's just me though.
