this

I like to nestle down deep into my fancy been bag so that I can very nearly suck my own dick. I then cross my legs tightly and create a V with my feet to hold the book. I stick highlighters under both thighs so I can absentmindedly grab at either to highlight.

>>5928043
With my head as far up my own ass as possible enjoying every treacle of superior /lit/ elitism fart that makes it's way into my lungs whilst I light a candle to read all my philosophy guys and scorn anything actually worth while

>>5928094

Okay there is a fine line between anti-elitism and anti-intellectualism and I believe this passes over it in spades. Please leave the gene woolfe pool.

>>5928043
i like to read on a bed of nails to keep me focused

>>5928094
Wait, but wouldn't that light the fart?

crouched over, like a hunchback, at the back of a public bus, avoiding all eye contact, my armpits reeking of weeks old of unwashedness, glancing up only to pick at the scabs on my knees

i read in public bathrooms

I like to read on obscure benches in my local botanic park

>>5928043
The most central 4-person table in the Starbucks in the trendiest neighbourhood of my city, with the book held perpendicular to my fact to maximize visibility. I studiously refuse to allow anyone to remove any of the other 3 seats, even though I am alone, because "these seats are the muses," I tell them.

:| well

I like to lie in bed, then push my pillows around behind me and sit up in bed, then when I get really excited, sit on the edge of my bed, then lie crosswise over my bed with my book held up aloft until my arms are too tired, then lie in foetal position, backwards on my bed so as I don't fall asleep, then get back under the covers and lie reading in foetal position again until the words blur and I sleep. Then I wake up four hours later to turn off the lamp, then I lie all fitful in the dark for about thirty minutes

Pretty much me.

I think book-reading is an inherently uncomfortable experience

As close to hugging the book without hurting it. Sometimes I forget the second bit ;_;

>>5935501
>lie in foetal position
This. Plus sobbing.

>>5935841
You just need to wear a tinfoil hat to keep out all of the Jew radio interference.

>>5935884
er, what?

Standing on a pillow while holding the book in front of my face. The blood-flow makes you read better.

on a plane

It's like you people want to waste time and ruin your sleep hygiene.

I read like preaching.

>>5936296
The book is supossed to be at the top of a bed.

>>5936296
That's a good one. The thing is I slowly push the book more and more and end up in a sort of sexual position, which reminds me I have no one in my life who would care at all and it sort of distracts me from reading.

I have a comfy chair next to my bed. During the day I sit in it in the conventional style. During the night, I move my chair so that my bed essentially becomes a footrest.

I slouch in my chair that leans back a little and put my feet up against the wall above my head.

My walls are eggshell white though so I now have brown marks on my wall where I usually place my feet.

Lying down on a moving train with your cute bff at your side.

I got a Kindle for Christmas and it's so insanely superior to physical books that I'm now thoroughly convinced that people only read physical books so that nearby people will know what they're reading.

I kind of miss that feeling

> Posture
Back flat down, head tilted up. If I'm reading on a Kindle, I'll lie on my side and read.
> Location
Bed, bath

>>5936319
H-how do you know that this is how I live? How can you see me through the ceiling!?

>Are you my angel?

>>5936757
How do you feel regarding the screen size?

I want to get one but I'm worried that 7 inches may be too small

>he's not a peripatetic reader
Sure smells like pleb in here.

Yes people read books in the comfort of their own house because they want to impress others. And not everyone is so vain and eager to be noticed they read in public to show others they read.
