I have not taken a bath in years. I only take showers, so no i don`t read when i bath because as i said i only take showers.
A mistake is simply another way of doing things

Reading while taking a bath is child's play. Come find me if you've read while taking a shower. ;-)

Yes!!! and I love it, so peaceful and quiet, I have even fell asleep in the tub while reading as well. Thank goodness for the boards that are made for baths. :-) especially having some aroma scents for the water

Children, gather round for an embarrassing story. One day a klutzy young girl broke her wrist. Because of this unfortunate incident, she was forced to take only baths so as not to wet her cast. This was very frustrating to her. Until her mother suggested taking a book to make things more enjoyable. Whatever made this klutzy girl think she could hold a book about the water with one arm in a cast is beyond me. Clearly, she was a moron. After reading only one page, the entire book fell into the water. Thankfully her mother bought her a new copy, since it was obviously all her fault. The young girl never read in the bath again, so all her books lived happily ever after.

Yes! A good book, candlelight, and bubbles in the jacuzzi are immensely relaxing. However, since having kids and dogs running around the house isn't very relaxing, I don't get a chance to unwind like that as often as I used to!

I love reading in the bath! Sitting back, covered to my chin with warm water, an iced drink next to me, and a cigarette! I read until im wilted and it is so relaxing. That was my favorite way to spend my evening when I would get home from work.

All the time. I think that is one of the great things about having a kindle- you can take it in the bath, to the beach, the pool and it is kept safe and waterproof in a case. What else are you supposed to do in the bath?!?

I've tried, but I always wanna put my hands in the water so my pages always end up wet. I've discovered it's not really worth the hassle for me.

I used to read while taking a bath when I was single. When I was younger I used to be able to read while floating down the river too. Tubing with a book was a favorite past-time in the summer. I miss those days.

I have only read while taking a bath once! I was very cautious to not get the book wet, but I very much enjoyed reading while sitting in a bath and the sweet aroma of a bath bomb (LUSH)!
