Oh yes, very much. Although lately I've been reading on my nook or my iPad and I am just too afraid to take it in the bathtub with me. I know how clumsy I can be and I would be so angry at myself if I ever ruined one of my beloved electronics.

I have read in the bath, but I have to be very careful not dropping the book into the bath

Oh yes. Several times. A bubble bath and a good book. There is nothing more relaxing than that.

Everyday lol. That is my quiet time. I live with two teenage boys and a husband. Trying to find time to myself is hard to do during the day working so it's mornings with a good book. Plus I have my master bath so nobody is awake beating on the door.

I hate baths and much prefer showers. But I think when I finally get my own place and have like a mammoth marble bath tub (God-willing) then I will be doing that all day as I think it is highly relaxing.

I'd love to be able to read in the bath but I'm too afraid to drop the book in (:

YES. I am always a bit terrifies that I'll ruin the book but I'm pretty careful. But when
I'm in the middle of a good book and have to get a shower I'll just start the bath instead and just keep on reading. It's the most relaxing thing in the world.

I did.
I love the relaxing feeling of sinking in the tub while engrossing in the storyline with the characters in the book.
I also ended up with wrinkly skin, an almost finished story, and damp pages because the water got too cold for my liking.

Years ago when I was living alone I would pour a hot bath and soak and read. It was very relaxing. I also used to float when I went swimming and read. I haven't done that in years.

I have never read while taking a bath, but I have taken a bath while reading.

Yes but I am very careful to not get it wet. I tend to listen to music more when I am in the bath rather than read but I definitely do read aswell sometimes.

I do occasionally, but I am always afraid that I'm going to get my books wet.
