No! But it always sounds so relaxing. I tend to fall asleep in the middle of reading after an hour or two so I'm afraid something will happen which sounds silly haha.

If I can, as long as it's not thunder storming, which happens very often where I am

Yes, I like to read in my backyard, which has giant old oaks, walnut trees and blueberry bushes. No neighbors, just a graveyard next door, so its very quiet.

Absolutely! Reading outside is something that I enjoy immensely. :D

You just gotta find the right shade tree with a beautiful cool breeze blowing past it. :D

I guess it's better than attempting to read outside in the winter, but I'll have to bring a snorkel so I can breath through the humidity. Wait. Snorkel won't work. I'll have to think of a new plan.

Is there another place? At the beach, backyard, back porch, camping, on the trampoline....

I don't enjoy reading outside in the summer because it's too hot, but in the fall or spring I like to sit on the screened porch and read. There are too many bugs to distract me any place other than the screened porch, and there I can sit in a cozy chair too. I love reading outside on the porch when there's a nice spring rain, but when there are thunderstorms with too much wind i have to do my reading inside.

Outside summer reading is one of my favorite times. I'm with the family on the fishing pier, enjoying the sights and sounds when I need a break.Walking along the beach then sitting to read some more. It's also in my country nature to enjoy the screened porch when reading. I can't wait!
