Most of my reading gets done at the computer.  I slide the tray out that my keyboard sits on and I am able to prop an issue against my computer desk and keyboard.  It creates a great reading angle and cuts down on the glare from those slick shiny pages.

a lot of reading gets done in the bathroom also

I read the bulk of my comics at work.  Not really slacking though, as I run an LCS and it's part of my job description.  Cool

When I am at home I read it on the crapper because I have a 2 yr old who would tear it to ribbons if he saw them, but the majority of my reading is at work between calls and on slow days.

I read in my living room, and usually have the Xbox tuned to Last.fm. My wife works late on Wednesdays so I have about 3 hours to read everything.

I like to take mine outside by the pool and smoke cigars while I read them.  Everyone knows not to splash me.

The bathroom is a great refuge for reading...lockable door, comfortable seat, quiet...

Of course, with ComicZeal on my iPod, I find myself reading more and more in the living room, legs propped up, headphones on (but not TURNED on) and just zoning out the kids...

Late at night after my girlfriend goes to sleep, I jump on a big green couch and shut the door to the room and enjoy my books in silence.

For me its on my comfy couch with a little jazz turned on lightly in the background. Pop open a good beer and get reading. Can't beat it. Also, because of my schedule, my summer months are too busy to keep a good reading schedule going, which creates a backlog of comics to read in the winter. So for me, reading comics during a cold New England winter is quintessential.

Anywhere in the house except the bathroom...

On the balcony in the sun on weekends, otherwise I'm comfy anywhere. No one bugs me as my other half is either reading as well or gaming  Cheesy

The only time I retreat to 'my' room (hey, it's sort of lair-like) is when there's sport on the tv. Because apparently it can't be watched without the commentary   Angry

Anywhere that's comfy and has decent lighting, really. At home, at my lovely gf's place, on the bus to/from band practice. Never been much of a bathroom reader though. I don't spend enough time in there to read much more than a few pages at a time. Maybe I should stash some Tales Designed to Thrizzle in there....

When I got my own house one of the things I really wanted was a place I could read and show off my books. I made this dream a reality and it looked great, a whole room just for books, yep a room full of books that just gathered dust over the lAst two years, I never read there and only really went in to pick up or drop off books that I'd read in bed or on the couch. So this weekend I took out all the shelves and used them indifferent rooms in the house and my books lie stacked in piles in the old comic room beside old chairs and clothes that I needed to take out of other rooms. Will I fix up the room again? Sure one day but whole doing up my living room I created a little space to sit and read and I'll tell you it's it far more comfertable to here than up in my room. I get to sit here when my GF wants to watch bad television or my son is being mental (he's almost two so he is always mental) and read but not be away from them.
So my question is where do you do most of your reading?

When the weather permits I like reading outdoors. 2 dogs chilling, a cool breeze and minimal tech distractions. I read the most in my room which leads to many unscheduled naps.

Me too.   No cigar, but I LOVE reading at the pool or at the beach.   I even looked for a waterproof Kindle cover so I could take it into the water with me.

2nd Choice is my fine cooshie recliner.

O(h, I forgot how much I used to love reading at Tampa Bay Brewing Company after work when I lived over on the other side of the bay.   Nothing better than a good book and a couple of craft brews.   I used to get questioned about reading in a bar.   I would say that people all over the world read at Coffee Shops and no one bats an eye.   I prefer beer.   Anyone else read at a pub?

The regina's on the bedside table, and the latest volume of "The Complete Peanuts" from Fantagraphics is in the magazine basket next to the ol' porcelain throne (as is a big Chris Ware hardcover that I pull out should I ever be in TOO good a mood).  But in these warm summer months, I make an effort to find time to do some reading out on the deck with a nice bourbon and that aforementioned fine cigar.
