TOP 10 BEST PLACES TO READ BOOKS by Darlene Beck Jacobson
While it’s true you can read a book just about anywhere, there are SOME places where the whole reading experience takes on a new level of interaction and excitement. The next time you decide to read a good book try it…
10. In a tent at night with a flashlight and your best friend.
9. At the beach while sharing a sandwich with a seagull.
8. Sitting under – or in – a tree at the park.
7. On a train…preferably the POLAR EXPRESS.
6. In a hot air balloon.
5. While waiting in line to get a book signed by a famous author.
4. In a time machine set for your favorite period in history.
3. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
2. In a car wearing your favorite hat while driving through the PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH.
1. In a castle dressed as a prince or princess while riding atop a horse.

I had a fun opportunity to appear on the Nerdy Book Club site with this post.
Thank you for the suggestions! I especially like #7. Here are a couple of my favorite places.
1. Curled up in bed under the warm covers on a chilly night
2. Sitting outside in the sun with a glass of ice cold lemonade in hand
I like the idea of reading in the time machine or In a tent at night with a flashlight and your best friend. Haven’t done either one, but the latter sounds like a distinct possibility.
I love each and every one of these suggestions! Especially reading on the Polar Express, which happens to be my favorite Christmas book and is a movie that I watch atleast five times throughout each year! The beach is also a great spot considering I read a five hundred page novel in three days spent with my feet in the sand! I will definitely be taking your advice and try reading in the other suggested locations!
Haha! that was great! For me: in a tree. Always. Though the Phantom Tollbooth always sounded great to me.
Reading in a rose garden, if you live in Portland, is also a comfortable experience.
