I sure have! A few years ago I heard that a company was starting to make waterproof books. I was pretty excited about it. I'd link, but I'm a newbie and apparently I'm not allowed to show you. ;) Anyway, now that I'm slowly switching to Kindle I really miss reading in the tub.

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

I don't mind the water messing with the book. I roughed-up book reflects more love than one in pristine condition.

I don't take many baths, so I haven't read in the bath. But, it's definitely something I would enjoy. It's a shame there aren't more waterproof books so people could read in the shower...

I love reading in the bath. I find it so relaxing to soak in a hot bath with a good book.

I have tried a few times, but it just doesn't work for me! At some point I always put hand in the water! :)

Yes, I do this very often and I've only once had an accident and dropped my book in the bath! The only problem I have is for some reason my neck gets stiff and I get a headache sometimes if I read in the bath for too long.

Every time I have the luxury of soaking in a tub, I have a book by my side. Definitely prefer paperback over my Kindle in this instance - just in case it slips into the water. :D

I read in the bath all of the time. You can buy or make a tray that spans the bathtub to keep your book or kindle from getting wet.
