Hey guys, I'm interested to see what people do when they read. Also seeing if there are any tips for reading to retain information. I struggle with this.

Do you guys have specific spaces?

Anywhere?

e-Books?

Physical?

Take brakes every 15 mins?

Music playing? Quiet?

I'm interested in knowing.

I personally read on my couch with my light above me in complete silence.
