I prefer to be outdoors as much as possible....when it's warm. However, since the winters are cold where I am, I prefer to read indoors, but by a window so I can use the natural light and see outside.

Definitely prefer to read indoors. When I am outdoors, I prefer to enjoy my surroundings.

Anywhere.
Mostly in between indoors and outdoors - in the car with window down stretching out my feet to face the sun.
If there is a choice of comfort, it would be in a bed with my dog. Emphasis on quietness at all times.

I'm more an indoor reader as well. I love reading outdoors also, but like it was stated here before outside can give me to much distractions and certainly in the summer, reading in the sun will cause me to fall asleep. I do love reading while I'm travelling by train or right before I go to sleep.

I almost always read indoors. I prefer to control my lighting while reading and as some others have said, there are often less distractions. I also read whenever I can, in a waiting room, on break, before bed, all of these take place indoors. :)

I've always wanted to take a book with me to the park on a sunny day, lounge on a bench, and read. I've never done that though. :/
It's just so much easier to curl up at night in my room and read there instead. :P

Outside, if it's at least a little bit warm!

Indoors! I feel like I'll miss something if not paying attention when I'm outside.

I usually read indoors, because I read mostly at night, though if it is a nice day and I have the time i do like enjoying a book outdoors. :mrgreen:

Hmm, I mostly read indoors, but sometimes I'll read outside. But I think I prefer to read indoors now that I think about it.

I love reading indoors. Preferably in my big comfy chair, all cuddled up in a blanket. Although reading while laying out is another favorite of mine.

I prefer to read outside in the summer when I go to South Carolina on my Hammock but for the most part I read inside

Both. However, it also depends on the weather.
