I don't understand how anyone can read in the bath. How do you turn the pages without getting the pages too wet to be readable?
Not that I have a comfortable tub I'd want to soak in much less read in, but I've never been able to manage it.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

No rule says your hands have to be wet. In fact, my rules say mine can't be.
If for some reason my hands get wet, I dry them on my hair...
I did see the lovely house. And affordable!
I keep a towel very close, since the hair thing is impossible.
I don't need a rule, it just happens. No matter how much I concentrate on keeping my hands and the book dry I cannot do it. Even keeping a towel within reach I can't do better than getting my hands damp rather than wet but still too watery to be turning pages.
Hee! I've done the hair thing too. But it's not really an issue unless you drop it. (Not recommended.)
I read in the tub, but I keep a hand towel next to the tub, and I'm just very careful. Haven't tried it with the Kindle yet, though.

The thing about Sodus is that it's super cute, but it really is in the middle of nowhere, sadly.
It is near a lake. And a short drive to Rochester. Or my idea of short (less than an hour).
At least one hand is always on the book (and in this configuration more likely to be two) so I'm just not getting wet often.
I mean, I can't see how I could get hands wet without already having gotten the book wet, and once I'm holding the book that's all the reminder I need--if it gets wet it's because I fumbled.
My idea of a short drive is ... not an hour. But the lake is gorgeous. I spent a day there once, a few years ago.
