My Top 3 Strangest Places to Read By Grace Becker

Since the day I learned to read, different books would appeal to me in different ways. I am very particular about which books I enjoy and which books I choose to even read in the first place. However, once I find a good book and I begin to read it, there are only a few places that I can really crack down and focus on what I'm reading. In particular, here are the top three (strangest) places I enjoy and focus on my reading the most.

#3- In the Pool- One of my favorite places to read is on a raft in the pool, particularly by myself. When the weather is nice, it is such a relaxing time to do something other than just lay on a raft. And unlike many other people, I find it very difficult to fall asleep on the water for the fear of drowning as I'm asleep. So, what better thing to do while relaxing on your own personal island in the middle of the water than to strand yourself with a good book. 

#2- On a Trampoline- This is another strange place that is very appealing to me as a reader. Being in the middle of a big yard with trees surrounding you is probably one of the most calming, serene locations one can get in their own home. This differs from laying in the grass because the trampoline is a higher structure with a more comfortable bounce to it (and no bugs). And to prevent static on the trampoline, (which is a big distraction when reading), putting a blanket and a pillow down will help contribute to the ultimate peaceful, yet comfortable, reading experience.

#1- On an Airplane- Unusual, I know, but if you think about it, what better place to have complete silence and no distractions than on an airplane. Reading on a plane is my number one place to relax and really get a book done. Having complete silence is of course a bonus, but the idea of reading while traveling really helps me get a book done. In a car there are too many distractions like car sickness, the world around you, directions, but being on a plane removes all of these worries, causing you to be completely relaxed. That is why reading on a plane is my favorite, most ideal place to read.
