Many times indeed. Usually let water out to add more hot, just so I can continue reading.

Of course! A bath, wine and a book is all I ask for on Mother's Day. (and a nap obviously) Total relaxation.

I've never read while taking a bath, but I always do before taking one. I often have to remind myself to stop reading so that I could take a bath.

I used to when I was a teenager - lounging in the bath with a good book and a cup of coffee was so relaxing. Nowadays I shower to save water, so when I do treat myself with an occasional bath, I'll bring a book, a glass of wine and incense.

I used to a lot more, now I use my Ipad to read. However, I started bringing my Ipad in with me when I take a bath and maybe soon it'll be me reading rather than watching video's again.

Nope - I like to get in and get out of the tub...I have lots of other things I'd rather be doing than bathing!

I take baths and have never actually tried reading in the bath before. I do soaking baths with seaweed and other bath add ins. Usually, I have chakra cleansing music on and candles going to relax.

I used to do it a lot, then when I got married, I stopped because it made my husband uncomfortable.

No, I haven't. This is because of the fear of messing up my books. I just don't want that.

I would love to, but every time I do I freak out by the second page that I'm going to ruin the book so I stop reading it.

Yes I have. I get nervous though because I'm so clumsy. I have tried with paper books as well as electronics.

Haha, yes. It's so much fun. But it's also a little disastrous cause I managed to drop a book in the water once. :P I like reading in hot tubs, too. I think, ultimately, I'm only ever going to do it with e-readers in the future, though, cause at least those are a little more durable.
