Are you a Librocubicularist? I know I certainly am!
Nothing nicer than a lazy lie in with a book or a bit of a read before going to sleep! But also – I LOVE that the word Librocubicularis exists. It makes me extremely happy, and proves the immense awesomeness of the English language. Oh and I checked- there isn’t an equivalent for people who read whilst in the bathroom (a shame as that would have been pretty funny!)
Yes, yes I am. Though it messes with my sleeping. There are usually a few books tucked under my pillows at night.
I need a word for reading in the bathtub.

Oh I struggle with the bath tub – my arms get tired from holding the book up about 30seconds in. I need one of those book holder things (first world problems eh?)

Absolutely. 😛 My books have taken an accidental dunking from time to time. I get restless soaking in a bathtub. I need to be doing something, and reading is the perfect activity.

This is proof positive that physical books will always remain better than the kindle: kindles are not waterproof…..

Haha – there is no such thing as too much information on this blog. Feel free to talk about all your bodily functions!
Actually, maybe not. That would be….weird.
But yes to reading books in bed and in the bathroom (whoever says they’ve never done it is lying I think. My grandparents have a toilet that is floor to ceiling with books and magazine. Used to be my favourite room as a child 😉 )

I have dropped many a book in the bath tub. I now read with my old Kindle inside a ziploc bag while in the bath. It has survived a few dunkings without any problem.

Yes! you multi purpose Librocubicularist! I have read in all three places too. I feel like there should be a new form of planking created – except that instead people are reading books in random spots. Now that would be hilarious!

LOL. A new word for me.
In my teens, I used to read in bed quite a lot. No more. And let’s face it, it IS difficult to try and curl up with an e-reader… 🙂

Yes I am! I’d never heard of the word before, but I love it. Now we need to make a word for the other. How about librotoileticularist? I guess that would be libroloocularist for those of you in England. 😉
