Have you ever read while taking a bath?

Absolutely! If I'm taking a bath more for relaxation I read every time. Which is almost every time I take a bath.

Yes, if I found the book difficult to stop reading. I would take it with me in my bath.

Of course! Especially if I am trying to relax. If I stay in the tub with nothing to do, I get bored and fidgety, which defeats the purpose.

I have read a book while taking a bath a few times. I found it to be very relaxing.

Have tried once but found it difficult because I was afraid of ruining the book.

Yes, I have and do it regularly. I find it very relaxing just have to handle the book with care. Actually the tub to me is my reading library. A book, cup of tea and a low candle and life is good

I've never tried it. I've always been scared that the book might slip and fall into the bath, would hate to ruin a book. Although i would like to try it some time since a lot of people have said it's relaxing.

No. Knowing me, I would end up dropping it in the tub with me.

I am always afraid that I will hurt the book. My Grandma, an English teacher, taught me that you are suppose to respect books because they are full of knowledge. I tend to just listen to music.

I have read many books while taking a baths. I find it very relaxing, although I do worry about accidentally dropping the book in. Reading and soaking in a nice warm bath is the epitome of relaxation in my mind.

I've done it quite a lot. It's a great way to relax, although I generally only read my books that are "well loved" so that if it gets a little wet, it isn't a big deal. I wish there was a way to read in the shower.

On one occasion I tried to read while bathing and I accidentally dropped my book in the bath water. What a disaster! My book was waterlogged! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to finish it because the pages were ruined. When I told my mother about my mishap she told me to book a heavy book on it after it got dry so the book would keep its shape. In the end the book was saved and I was able to finish reading it!

Not any more. I used to, but I ruined a few books. And now since I almost exclusively use a Kindle, there's no way I want it ruined by falling asleep---because I do tend to nod off in the water. I'm more at home in the water than dry land... so I get REALLY comfortable.
