Honestly, for me it doesn't matter where I'm at; as long as I'm comfortable and it is not too noisy. Those are my only requirements. Comfort first, then anything else can follow.

I agree. There are times where I can't read properly at home, either because of my cat or other factors, so I'll evacuate to the nearest park.

In spring and summer when it is nice out I prefer to read outdoors to get a breath of fresh air. In the winter, I will read indoors

Indoors. I get distracted easily outside and it makes me feel uncomfortable when people look at me while I read. I most prefer to read inside my room because it is quiet and calming.

Whereas I can read a good book out doors without being distracted, I prefer reading indoors because I don't attract unnecessary attention indoors

I prefer reading indoors for two reasons. First, there are less bugs out for my blood. It's like they know I'm scared of them, and they like to feed of my fear. Second, I get cold easily, so I like to cuddle underneath a warm blanket.

Outdoors in a hammock can't be beat. Curled up in bed is second.

I’ll read anywhere! But in summer, I prefer reading in the backyard, on the dock, or on the beach. In winter, I prefer reading next to a crackling fire or somewhere cozy.

I don't mind I can read anywhere provided my interest is in the book.

I prefer indoors mostly because of the fewer distractions, but indoors can also be distracting when nature/the outside calls.

If the place is a silent one,i can read. No matter indoor or outdoor. I hate distraction.

I find reading outside to be way too distracting. I mean I guess if the outdoor was really boring, it would be fine. XD

Indoors, hands down. I feel it can be dangerous for me to lose myself in my book when I'm outdoors. I'm not a paranoid person or safety freak, but reading can be done with some sense of relaxation&peace.

I prefer to read indoors unless the weather is perfect out or I'm feeling cabin fever and have to get out.

I prefer reading indoors in a quiet, comfy bed. But that's just me.
