Reading Positions – A List of the Good, the Bad and the Downright Uncomfortable

By November 15, 2015Reading Habits

We’ve all done it; contorted ourselves into knots in order to be able to read those last few pages. Folded an arm behind a head, tucked an ankle under a bottom or propped ourselves up against a kitchen appliance.

Which position is yours?

The Reverse Sofa

Head on the floor and feet in the air; why? To get more oxygen rich blood into those brain cells? Who knows, but this is a favourite position the world over.

The Tortoise

No, sorry, all I can think about is ouch! Booby squishingly painful!

The Butt Rest

Nothing to lean your book on? Use your own backside, these things were given to you for a reason!

The Spa Special

For when you’re receiving a rather wonderful back massage.

The – Just No, People Do Not Bend Like That

I can’t speak, I’m still wincing. If you can do this, send us a picture at [email protected]

The OMG it’s my Day Off and it’s Sunny

So rare that it is amazing a photograph has been captured. If this ever happens to you, cherish it.

The I Live in England 

Who cares if it’s a little wet.

The Bubble Bath

This is my favourite position, bubbles, a glass of wine and a good book with maybe a sliver of good chocolate and a candle or three for good measure.

The Just Me and my Cat

Nothing to see here, just a couple of buddies enjoying some bedtime reading.

The Commute

Whether by bus or train, what better way to while away the travelling time than with your latest reading material.

The Best One

The end of the day and you’re snuggled in bed with a really good book. Heavenly!

I’m a Bubble Bath reader but then I read everywhere and anywhere so they probably all apply in some form.

Apart from that contortionist one, how? I still cannot work out how her legs bend like that.
