I like both a great deal but prefer outside the best -- I live in South America in a place where there are no seasons so the weather always allows it!

I prefer indoors. I'd rather not read with the bugs or snow.
Just reading... :techie-studyingbrown: :techie-studyinggray:

It depends on the time of year. Reading with natural light is so nice. There are a lot of places I like to sit while reading.

Maybe both but mostly indoors as I'm not much of an outdoor person these days. Wouldn't it nice sitting by the pool somewhere and reading?

I read indoors. If I'm outside it's usually to enjoy a specific part of nature and devote myself to that. Plus, I get distracted easily, so nature sounds in the background wouldn't help me.

I couldn't read outdoors even if I wanted, my eyes are so sensitive that the pages are way to bright for me and I have to squint way too much.

I prefer indoors, no people around you in a room with only books and a lamp.

While reading indoors is nice, I have to say, there's nothing nicer than taking a picnic blanket and reading somewhere in the sun. It's so relaxing to me. But I will usually read indoors since it's more convenient.

I prefer indoors. But, for the most part, I can read just anywhere (in and out); especially when I captivated.

Normally indoors as here in the UK the weather is unreliable. If it is actually hot and sunny then I'll sit outdoors and read. It's very weather dependent though.

Ugh, I feel this in Ireland. And everyone flocks outdoors when it's finally not raining. :lol2:

Very true. My nan and grandad lived in Ireland for a while and whenever we went over, it was raining!

It really depends on my mood. Most of the time i am out of the house so i bring with me a book and stay inside cafes to read. I love it when it rains though, that way i get to spend time at home reading books with a cup of hot chocolate .

Indoors. I get too distracted to read outdoors. I won't fully concentrate on my book when I'm outside
