Other then the fact I prefer showers, I don't think I could bring a book into the bath unless it was laminated thoroughly.

Reading in the bath with some relaxing music playing and candles glowing is utter bliss! I have a collection of books that I call my "relaxation shelf." Those are the ones I'll take to the bath with me. Paradise!

Yes, all the time. I know there is a risk of dropping the book in the bath, but I can't remember the last time I dropped a book when reading in general so its worth the risk!

I always read while taking a bath. However, I read a newspaper or a magazine--never a book. The reason: I have a tendency to fall asleep and drop my reading material in the water.

Don't take baths anymore. But when I did my idea of a wonderful evening was taking a glass of wine and a book and adding hot water with my toes so I did not even have to move!!!!

No, I haven't. I have thought about doing it before, but was afraid I would drop it and have a soggy book. :mrgreen:

I've been doing it for years, and I've only dropped a book once or twice, so I'd say the risk is more than worth it.

I read in the bathtub every time I take a bath. It's a wonderful way to relax at the end of a long work day.
