Have you ever read while taking a bath?

I have not and don't intend to because I don't see taking a bath as a form of relaxation, I usually have my bath in a rush,

I tried this a few times when I was younger, it usually ended up with the books getting damp and that just made me upset. Maybe once I'm older and have a larger (more relaxing) bathtub I'll try it again.

I also have a waterproof case on my iPad, so maybe I will try reading some ebooks in the bath.

No, I'm afraid of wetting my book.

Oh yes, and dropped a few books into the water as well...

Yes, it was so relaxing. The last book I read in the tub was Maya Angelou - I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. One of my favourites!

I read all the time when I take a bath, and I agree with most of you. It is definitely relaxing!

Absolutely! Used to do it all the time, but less in recent years. Especially with switching over to (in part) reading digitally. It's just less relaxing to read in the tub with an iPad. Dropped a few books in the bath with me over the years too.

Absolutely! There is even this great book holder that stretches across the tub to hold the book.

I could never manage this; I tried once or twice, and could never keep water off the page. I don't know how so many people do it!

No. It's mostly because I'm not one that enjoys baths and because I would probably end up a shriveled prune. When I read, I tend to do so for hours.

Yes I have. Add a glass of wine, some bubbles, and a good book and my night is made.

I have tried it, but was unable to relax. I was to concerned about splashing the pages, or worst, dropping the book in the bathwater.

No i only take showers because i think baths are a little icky but i probably would if I did take baths because baths seem quite boring
