I'll read anywhere I get a chance but I much prefer reading outside on a warm sunny day.

I like reading outdoors when the weather is nice. It's much more comfortable and I can read without interruptions.

I agree with Crazybookfan1 reading indoors is a lot less distracting and you can get in the zone easier.

I love to read outdoors mostly during the summer when I am outside enjoying the sunshine!

If it is peaceful, outdoors. I like feeling the breeze and it's calming. Most of the time I read indoors.

Indoors because it is way more comfortable.

Oh I love reading outdoors! Under the shade of a tree, or maybe at some hill side, and even at the beach with the waves giving background music to the book i am reading. But technical stuff i prefer reading it in-doors where i would have access to other important literature on the same subject, or may be access to my computer/internet where i can go deeper into the details of the topics i am reading.

I will also have to go with both! Being comfortable is very important to me whether it's indoors or outdoors. Getting comfy indoors is quite easy as previously mentioned with pillows and a cuppa. I also like to add candles and sometimes very soft music in the background. Recently, while on vacation, I purchased a CD from a street performer. His tranquil Spanish guitar allows me to feel exotic during these cold winter months, add a book and I'm on vacation once again :) I have also packed a bag for outdoor reading so I may nestle down comfortably under a tree. (weather permitting) :D Reading in a cozy quiet cafe is great too.

I prefer to read indoors, but that's only because the weather is not what I would consider optimal for outdoor reading.

Well this is a hard one for me. I have to say that I used to live on the east coast and I loved to read outside in the shade in the summer. Of course during the winter I would snuggle up in blankets in my bed and get cozy and warm to read. Well now I live in AZ and lets just say it gets hot in the summer. So now its all reversed unless I am up really early in the summer, then it is a perfect temperature out. All in all I would have to say both depending on weather and whats going on around me, but I am just happy whenever or whereever I am reading. :P

Outdoors! (unless it is winter) But I love the feeling of laying or sitting out in the grass, in a tree, on blankets, by fire, under trees, with friends, in parks. Reading outside is one of my favorite things in life. <3 :D

Depends on the weather. Indoors outdoors and on the way too. If I get a good book I read whenever I have the chance.

Both, can't decide right now which I like best... Each has its own rewards :)
