Read for 30 minutes in an "unusual" place. This should be somewhere you don't normally read. Tell where you read and how that worked out for you. What were the pros and cons of that location?

I read in my bathroom while Gwen was taking a bath. It was good because it was kind of quiet at times, but it was bad because my pages got wet and Gwen kept asking me to play with her.
Well, first I tried to read hanging upside down, but that didn't work out so well because my head started to hurt. So I tried reading under my Kitchen counter, which was not bad. The pros were that nobody disturbed me and I really got into my book, but the cons were that the floor was hard and it was kind of dark.
The pros When I read outside there was no one to distract me so I could concentrate more. Also all my family members were inside, so they couldn't bug me. It also was peacful outside so I sort of felt like I was in the book.
The cons Oustside it was windy so I lost my page a lot and then that sent me looking for my page. Also it was cold outside so I had to wear layers to keep warm, but then I got to warm.
Overall if I had an option to read outside I would say no.
I don't enjoy reading in the car so much, becaus ewhen I was younger, I felt sick to my stomach while I read while in the car. I decided to try this again, and it turned out pretty well for me. After dinner on Friday night, my sister went to volleyball practice at Hen Hud. After we were to pick her up after practice, we would drive up to Massechusetts to go skiing. So, at around 9-9:30 PM, in the parking lot of Hendrick Hudson High School, I happily read my book, and finished it over the weekend.
well, I normally read in my room so I decided that I would read in the family room hanging upside down on the couch. Some good things were, well, there weren't really any good things, I kept getting distracted, I got dizzy and all my blood rushed to my head. There weren't any upsides at all. I'm not gonna be reading there ever again!
i read in the corner if my family room the pro was it was quiet because my sister was not annoying me and the cons were that it was to quiet because my sisters were not annoying me and the other it was very uncomfable
I read in my family hang out living room. The pros were I was really warm next to the fire. No noise from my brother playing Call of Duty. Gun noises. When we got phone calls, my dad had to get up to get it and mutes the tv for a minute. The cons were My cat kept on rubbing his head on my hair because he likes wet hair and I had just taken a shower. The tv was way too loud for me to read. A lot of phone calls. It was really cold. I still felt a little sick with sniffles. I would not have chose to read there if I had the option.
I read on this random chair near my dad's home office.
Pro's We could do some "bonding" He liked to have me there because we could talk to me about sports, work (how annoying so and so is, how so and so wouldn't do blah, yadie yadie yada)and talk about other miscellaneous stuff.
Con's We talked a lot and very distracting Didn't do much reading He got mad when I left, and when I said "Okay Dad, now I actually have to go really read." So he said "Your reading just fine right here!" "Sorry Dad, I actually have some homework to do. But besides that this conversation has been great!"
For my unusual place, I decided to try to read on my beanbag. I usually read on my bed, but I gave my beanbag a shot. I thought that it was nice because I was able to cushion right in and put my feet on top of the bed, it was also very warming so that made me comfortable to read. I didn't really like that I wasn't able to spread out to get into a position I like instead of spreading out on my bed. It also made my back sink into it, my back would arch so that made my back ache a little. Overall, it was fine...but I still like my bed better!
