I always do! It gives me more time away from the family to read in peace :D

Yes, my only problem is that a lot of times I fall asleep in the tub (I have narcolepsy). I have to be extra careful! :)

I do a lot of great thinking when I'm in the bathroom, so I generally find that I concentrate and get more out of the books when I read them in the tub.

I love to read so I always have a book in my hand especially in the bath tub. I will spend at least an hour in the tub, soaking and reading a book before I wash.

I have and probably will again, but I find it occasionally stressful. I am constantly worried about keeping my hands dry and not splashing. Once I manage to find a rhythm, I love it. But I don't generally find it that productive in terms of the amount I read.

I have. I came to enjoy reading in the bath when my brother and his family was living with me. It was the only place I could go for some quiet time away from the kids.

I love reading in the bath but I'm often worried about ruining my book. I've seen some cool looking shelf things you can put over the bath edges to set things on but they just seem like something I wouldn't use enough to warrant making or buying. Reading in the bath is better than reading in bed if you ask me.
