I know many people have read while in the bath, just as many im sure have not. I had a friend that would read in the bath a lot, she would drop the book in the water often. Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I would never lend her one of my books.

No, I wish but I am too afraid to drop my book or phone in the water.

yes. Most of the time it is because I cannot fathom setting my book down for the duration of my shower.

No, I am too afraid to ruin a good book by dropping it in the water. I want to someday though.

I took Shayna to be saying that was why she takes books into the bath - and has a bath rather than a shower.


Myself I very rarely have a bath and No, I have never read anything in the bath (or in the shower - except perhaps the instructions on the shampoo bottle 8)

I would, but I take showers and I don't want to damage my book. Plus I don't really think a bath cleans you as well as a shower does, so I couldn't really bring myself to just take a bath anyway.

I have read while taking a bath and have almost dropped my Nook in the water. I will be very mad at myself if I ever do that.

I've read in the ocean, the pool, and the bath.
