Do you know where your spot is? You’re reading spot, of course! (What did you think I was referring to, huh? Hush, Tawny.)

I don’t know about you, but my current favorite reading spot is out on my deck, the sun setting and a glass of Chardonnay next to me. However, I’ve been known to read anywhere I can: in the car tooling around town (I’m not driving), at the beach, on a boat, in bed, on the couch oblivious to my surroundings. I’ve taken books to sporting events, the doctor’s office, the subway. I’m not coordinated enough to read while walking on the treadmill, but I know people who manage that (ahem, Leslie). I’m such an avid reader that I download audio books to my iPod to listen to while working out on the treadmill. I just can’t let that time pass without absorbing a story somehow. I’ll even confess that I’ve read a book while sitting in stop-and-go traffic (mostly stop).

Basically, I find my spot all the time and am a happier woman for it. What about you? What is your favorite spot to read a good book? Where is the most unusual place you’ve ever taken a book?
