Default Where do you read your PD books?

Where do you read your Personal Development Books? My most comfortable position to read for hours is while laying in bed, but I'm sure there's a much better place to read.

I am at a point where I try to avoid PD books like the pest, so I guess I don't read them anywhere.

All the ideas on the subject (including my own) are mostly rehashes of other people's ideas and rarely add anything substantial that I don't already know. And, I'm sure that most people reading PD books already know this as well, but they are mostly just trying to find an excuse to delay doing something with the excuse that they are 'motivating themselves' to do what they should already be doing.

Default everywhere

I read or listen to my PD stuff pretty much everywhere. Cars, bathrooms, beds, floor, chairs, boats and too many other places to list them all.

I don't distinguish PD books from any other reading. So I read pretty much everywhere. I use either computer or my PDA.

Starbucks. Bring on the chaise lounge and the caffeine.

At my desk - I often take notes, underline things, and type up interesting concepts while I'm reading the book, so doing it anywhere else is impossible for me.
