Have you ever read while taking a bath?

I keep trying to. It always seems like a good idea to start with. But since I like really hot baths I always tend to get light headed before I finish a chapter.

Yes for me. It gives me an hour more or less of reading until the water gets cold

and it is very relaxing.

Honestly, nowadays now that I've entered the adult 40 hour a week working world, reading in a bath is the most relaxing thing ever.

As an adult, I don't remember taking a bath and NOT reading. I'm careful and have a special tray. I'm one of those people that don't mind dog-earing the pages, and I like when a book gets broken in during a thorough read. I do not keep them pristine!

This is legit my favourite strategy for destressing.

Absolutely. I've also read my old Kindle 3 in the bath before - I've never had an incident yet!

Yes. I always do. I'd be very upset with myself if I dropped it in the water though.

All the time. I've had a few wet books, but they recovered.

I try to, but I'm so stressed I'm going to get the book wet or something that is does the opposite of relax me!

Most definitely! And it has become so much easier since the invention of ereaders. No more wet pages. It's just annoying when you realize you haven't finished washing and your water is cold as you got so engrossed in the book!

Ooh. I can't imagine what would happen if you dropped your eReader into the bath. Reminds me of the time I put my cell phone in the washing machine. It got really clean, but otherwise, not a good experience.
