Though I think of myself as a bookworm, there are certain places where I can’t bring myself to read. For example, I don’t like reading while in transit. I also don’t dare bring out a book when my nephew is around (he likes grabbing things from my hands).

When I want to enjoy a book and truly savor its every page, I prefer going to a quiet place where I can sit or lie down comfortably. These are what I consider my favorite reading buddies:

Nature 

If the weather permits it, I like reading under a tree or under comfy shade. I like a windy day when reading outdoors. If indoors, I like having the rain as white noise.

Mobile phone 

Having a mobile phone nearby is convenient for taking notes or looking up unfamiliar words. To keep it from distracting me, I make sure to disconnect from the internet and just reconnect when really necessary.

Fan or any cooling device

Because I don’t have much time as I used to have for leisure reading, I try my best to make any reading opportunity a comfortable and enjoyable one. One way to do this is by using whatever cooling equipment is necessary to make my room cozy.

Food

Of course. What’s an enjoyable moment without some snacks?

How about you? What do you consider as your best reading buddies?
