Usually indoors. There are less people around and the weather can't ruin your book.

I usually read inside on my bed with lots of blankets. When I'm on vacation I also love to read sitting on the beach, it's so relaxing! I usually tend to read at night before going to sleep (terrible nightmares since I love horror stories).

I prefer indoors more since squirrels and bees tend to bother me outside.

I might consider sitting outside in the sun to read, if it weren't so windy.

I prefer reading indoors for the reason of comfort and quiet. Indoors is usually the perfect environment for me. When I'm out doors I can't focus, I usually look at events that are occurring instead of reading.

I can read anywhere but I prefer to read outside only on cloudy days cuz everyone knows if you open a book and the pages are facing the sun, that it will be super bright and hard on the eyes for awhile.

Indoors there are fewer distractions and it's usually quieter. It's also the perfect weather indoors because of the air conditioning/heater system. I can also adjust the lighting by shutting the curtains. I tried reading outside on a hot summer day once, but the light was shining so bright on the pages that I nearly got blinded. Then I went inside with weird vision and a sunburn.

This one is definitely easy for me - I typically very much dislike the outdoors! Bad weather, bright sun or dark night, bugs... No thanks, indoors please!

I love reading anywhere. but if I must specify, I will say that I love reading indoors more because it's less distracting.

Team Indoors Vs Team Outdoors.
Honestly, for me it doesn't matter where I'm at; as long as I'm comfortable and it is not too noisy. Those are my only requirements. Comfort first, then anything else can follow.

Outdoors definitely. I love the sunshine and fresh air and my secret garden is so serene that I almost read better when I'm seated out there. Plus all the butterflies and hummingbirds fly right up to me. Love it!

I do both, but I prefer indoor reading because there's less distraction and I concentrate more but I love both.
