What's /lit/'s favourite position to read in? It's got to be the triple stacked pillow behind the upper body and head for me...

Comfy chair is essential. When I move out of my parents house I definitely want to have my own /comfy/ designated reading chair. I'm more of a left foot on top of the right knee kinda guy myself.

You might want to do something to counter the terrible back/upper shoulder pain that you're going to get in later life. You might also develop breathing problems

Usually I sit in an upholstered chair with my legs crossed so I can rest the book on my knee. Otherwise when I read sitting up I slowly start to hunch over.

Lying on my chaise longue, next to the radiator, with ambient or classical music playing quietly on the stereo.

If you don't have a chaise longue, you should get one. I've got one. It's longue.

Comfortable chair at a writing surface, since I'm likely taking notes.

In bed.

Bonus: reading in motion. Bus, train, plane. I love it, especially by train.

A low, limp draping across the seat of a cushioned armchair, preferably with wide arms which can support my elbows enough to hold the book at eye level +/- 20° so as not to crane my neck.
I don't own any cushioned armchairs, though, so I don't read comfortably usually
