Not while I am taking a bath indeed, instead I never forget to take one "for pooping" time

It is one of my favorite ways to relax! If the book is really good I will just keep adding hot water to keep from sitting in luke warm water.

I don't think I ever have! I think its just the idea of water near a book and it could be wreaked if I accidentally dropped it. So I probably won't be trying it soon.

I will answer with another question - do I get WET when I take a bath? The answer is yes!

Usually I'll take a mag in there but sometimes paperbacks.

Ha. I totally have. I've even read on my kindle while taking a bath, which is somewhat terrifying but worth it.

I read while in the bath quite frequently. And yes, I have ruined books because of it:)

I have read in the bath before but it's rather annoying. I can't really focus on the book because I'm struggling with finding a comfortable position, being distracted because the part of me thats not in the water is cold, and being annoyed that my arms feel uncomfortable trying to hold the book above the water. And then being worried about dropping it, and always ending up getting it wet by accident, by either not realizing and letting it drift down into the water if I move or by touching it while my hands are wet. Not an incredibly pleasant experience to be honest.

I wouldn't even want to attempt it. My Kindle would probably hate me for it, seeing that I am super clumsy and tend to drop it even when I am not sitting in a bucket of water.
