I've tried it, it's surprisingly distracting and uncomfortable. A small, quiet, mostly empty room is best, imo.

i found it hard to read outside because i am primed to be alert for insects, snakes and spiders and that takes up quite a bit of my mental processing powers

SERENITY FOR READING CAN BE FOUND WITHIN URBAN, OR SUBURBAN, VICINITY, AND WITHIN ONE'S OWN RESIDENCE; THE WILD SHOULD BE FOR EXPLORING, FOR PLAYING, AND FOR OTHER PHYSICALLY EDIFYING, OR RECREATIONAL, ACTIVITIES, NOT FOR READING.

THIS LITERARY FETISHIZATION OF NATURAL SETTINGS IS MORBIDLY ROMANTICISTIC, AND HYPOCRITICAL.

IMAGINE A NERD: THAT IS THE ONE READING UNDER A TREE IN THE FOREST.

As a rural sort, we really just wish your sort would stay in the city. Much rather have the nerd sitting under a tree reading quietly.

You're jealous of people reading books innawoods, cityfag? Go outside sometime and you'll see how nice it ist

How do you guys who read outside deal with the wind?
That nigger keeps flipping my pages around and laughing about it.

Face into the wind or find a place out of the wind.
