I know that everyone has a usual spot where they like to read where is yours ?
Mine for sure is day or night curled under a duvet, in bed - preferably with chocolate. I also enjoy reading on a plane, train when I go on holiday. I always end up buying a book at duty free, but I cheat cause I normally have another one with me - just a good excuse to buy another book.
I hardly ever read in a chair unless it is a lazy boy which goes folds almost flat like a bed...then that's okay. :p
Edit: I almost forgot I HAVE to have company ie 2 cats curled up like ying/yang's next to me.

I generally tend to read in bed at the end of the day, but I also like to read on the couch with my feet up and obligatory snacks to keep the sugar levels up. Reading is hard work, you know!

On the bed, lying on my stomach with the book on the floor....
After a while to much blood goes to your head and you feel a bit funny then I get up and get something to snack on and back on my tummy.

I have a lazee-boy type chair, so that is where I do most of my reading! Also in bed before I go to sleep...
If it warm and sunny outside, I grab a blanket and go lie on the grass with my book!

I can't read in the sun .... it gets too bright and hurts my eyes...i end up dozing.
I am pretty much like Dudette..on the couch..with a few snacks.... if i lie down..the intention is to doze...if i sit on the couch...i want to read and stay awake.
I wish I was one of those people who could read in a car, plane or train, but unfortunately I suffer from motion sickness.

Oh, I hate reading in a car. Can do it on a train/plane but not in a car...makes me feel sick!

Same here - I can't read in a car either without feeling nauseous.
I haven't tried it on a train yet, and an aeroplane is fine.

Only form of transport I can read on is an aeroplane - all the rest make me violently carsick. Cannot even read a mapbook....

I do most of my reading on the train to work and back each day. I have a 'train book' in my bag at all times.
But I also like to read before I put the lights out.. even if it is just a couple of pages - really relaxes me
