Most of my reading is done in bed, it's the only place I can get peace and quiet. I mostly read thrillers, Alex Kava,karen Rose, Lisa Jackson and Anne Perry are some of my favourites, although sometimes I like a little lighter reading with Alan Titchmarsh :roll:

That's usually how I read XD I go to bed at 1 AM usually.. pick up a book, and I don't stop until 5 AM or so @_@ LOL. It's a bad habit.

Oh yeah. I love reading b/4 bed and then I can fall asleep thinking about it. Unless it is a really good and exciting book. Then I stay up too late reading it.

I love to read in bed! I read in bed every night. I find it a great way to wind down and get my mind off of things. Some nights I can read for a couple of hours, but other nights I get so sleepy that I fall asleep while reading after 15 minutes, lol!

I usually read in bed, about an hour every night. Normally though when i pick up the book again the next day i have to reread the last couple of pages i read in bed because i can't remember what i have read, must be reading in my sleep!

I used to love to read in bed at night, but this past year I can only last a few pages before I get too tired.

I love to read in bed! I finish Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 24 hours, getting up only for small snacks and bathroom breaks, the whole day in bed! Best day ever if you ask me. I also do it while I'm sick. :)

I like to try and read some before going to sleep unless someone else has other plans, then I don't get to read!

I almost always read in bed. But if i'm really drowsy, i get up and sit on a chair and read it with my little lamp on in the dorm.
