Yes, even though I know the humidity is bad for the book, the hot water combined with a good book is immensely relaxing for me.

Yup. I know the water messes the book up a little, and I do feel sad about that sometimes, but I think the mark of a good book is how well it is worn. If you love it, you will take it everywhere.

I have many times. If I'm reading a really good book I love to read in the bath. It's my quiet time away from my kids, what better place is there to read in peace ;)

Yes, it's a wonderful way to relax. Better though to read magazines, you don't want to risk moldy book...especially if it falls in. :mrgreen:

I love reading in my bath, but I read a kindle and place it on the tray I got for across the tub. safe from damage and plenty of time. I have put my kindle in a zip lock bag too.

No I am afraid of messing up the book by getting it wet.

I do often. Bath time is my relaxing time, and there's no better way to relax than with a book and a glass of wine! When I was younger I did all my free reading in the bath and all my school reading elsewhere.

I always have a book when in the tub! Can't imagine bathing without one. I can't imagine doing much without a book, really. LOL
