you're not supposed to sit rigid for a long period of time. you shouuld listen to your body's natural desire to shift positions, its healthier.
>>15797817
if you read on your computer this is easy to maintain. I prefer reading on my monitor because I don't have to hunch or kill myself holding the book like this just to keep a straight neck. also my monitor is farther than arm length so its better for my eyes.

i've been working on my squat for years and i still can't do it without fucking my lower back or being imbalanced, though I've gotten much better. at least i have a nice ass now.

If I sit down, Probably bottom right or similar to that posture, except without the support of the desk as I use my smartphones flashlight being held between two heavy books on the desk. I don't use the ceiling lights because the electricity could be shut off. If I'm able to read during the day, I usually walk and read.

When I was in elementary school there was one kid who did that, reading stuff like Artemis Fowl nonstop even while walking to the pencil sharpener. He read during recess and PE and in the hallway whenever we went somewhere. The teacher had to remind him to pay attention 2-3 times a lesson. Everyone made fun of him for bumping into shit all the time. Pretty sure he was developmentally stunted. By high school he ended up as a fat midget who went to all the LGBT support group meetings. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a woman now.
