3. Well, I've tried it but...
it doesn't seem to work with a shower...oh, wait...you mean fill the tub with water, sit down in it rather than run the shower and try to read a book? I never thought of that.

4. NEVER - would be my choice, but is not one of the choices..
I only shower, like a lot of other people.

Years ago when I was young and frequently bathed, I put on the radio and just enjoyed the bath...no books then either....


Now, reading on the toilet, that's another matter altogether...

11. No, but I farted the first two stanzas of "Silent Night" once.
Kids do funny things in the tub.

12. Always.
I actually miss being pregnant when I read in the tub. My belly was the best book rest ever. Never got a single page wet.

16. I've read books while in the pool.
I want waterproof books so they don't get so soggy.

18. I would if I took baths.
I only do showers. But my sister does when the kids are in bed. She lights candles, gets a glass of wine, and reads while she soaks. :hi:

19. Not anymore, but only because I only have a shower.
Before that, the tub was the preferred place to read, at least until I got all wrinkly and shit.
