Move positions every few minutes until something works. It sounds like a joke but sometimes an erection works really well as a sort of bookstand, allowing you to turn the pages with an independent hand. Perhaps this is why women struggle to enter the literary realm.

Is it normal to never be comfortable or should I see a doctor? I’m never comfortable while reading: my hands, legs, back, neck and shoulders, and jaw always ache or feel stiff; it takes me two hours to fall asleep too because I keep moving to try and get comfortable. It makes reading really hard

My bed is against the wall, so I usually sit up against the wall with a pillow for my back. If I want maximum comfy, I'll just lie on my side and turn my book sideways

The only infinitely comfortable device is a water bed, otherwise you must change your position often and I won't spoil the best solution here.

>Midwits and ruined necks and and future ankolyxing spondylitis suffers in this thread.

Ignore all posts here other than mine. Only I am correct.

The solution is a Levo book stand. This allows you to recline and read as effortlessly as you would watch TV. If you are a serious reader, all other positions and techniques will result in spinal deformation and herniated neck. This apparatus allows you to strap a book in and read at any comfort whether it be at a desk or fully laying down in bed. You also can exercise or read standing with it even.

I won't be replying to poorfag copes. I own a Onxy Boox Max 13", and just sit there all day with it hooked up to my book stand. Think about it, The fact that so little people use such solutions is proof that most people read as a cope and aren't doing it for reading, otherwise they would have found a better solution. Most people lead really worthless and inferior lives to me, and as Sanctus Augustinus (pbuh) said, to whom am I narrating all this? Not to thee, O my God, but to my own kind in thy presence--to that small part of the human race who may chance to come upon these writings. Hopefully this helps someone out. I'll tell you what, I could beat the shit out of any reader without one. I could challenge every fucking bent over scholar archetype to a mass fight. I can take every retard on this thread at once in combat. One punch to the neck and its over for all of you scrawny, weak, prexisting hairlined fractured vertebrae freaks.

Either in bed propped up on my knees, on a sofa with the book down on the couch and me sorta crouched over it, or at a desk with the book directly down on the desk and my neck bent straight over it (unhealthy, I know).

To put things on it? If your question is bout the standing thing, it is much better than sitting. Humans aren't made to sit for extended periods of time. Either Stand or lie down. Slavs have it right about squatting.
