Other than that, I read in all the normal domestic reading places scattered around the apartment.

I like your friends idea of putting audiobooks into his iPod. The other day I had a similar idea. I downloaded a bunch of free texts from the Gutenburg Project. I was thinking of running them through some speech synthesis software and converting the audio files to mp3s. I'm going to experiment with this later in the week and I'm wondering how long it will be before "Android Reads the Classics" becomes unbearable.

I read everywhere. In a bed, on a chair, in the bath or on the stair. I read everywhere. And bloke and I read on the sofa in the evenings too. I don't think any hobby can be considered antisocial if the person whose society you enjoy most is doing it too.

also, it's easier and doesn't slow you down as much as doing the crossword.

What a brilliant idea. They could make a special lane along one side of a sidewalk (like a bike path or car-pool lane). The paint marking the width should be wide enough so that the reader can see it out of the corner of his/her eyes (thereby, not straying from the path). Occationally, there could be spots of different color paint along the edge, marking a right/left turn coming up.
The main problem I envision is people laying down sticks and things in the path, waiting for a walking-reader to trip. Which would be funny.

where do you read?

I work part-time and study part-time so theoretically I finish work at 1pm and come to the university library or postgraduate suite and get a good four or five hours reading done before home. In reality, I get a good three or four hours of ILXing done and then squeeze in ten pages.
Also I read in bed, where there is no ILX to be found, but plenty of "shit why am I tired after reading two pages".

Typically, I read after dinner, lying on the couch.

I read during my bus commutes to and from work, if it's overcast (flickering sun = carsick+headache) and I've got a front-facing seat (most days), during lunch at my desk (reading material propped up on the phone cord for the best angle), and I read or am read to after dinner most evenings in an ikea chair with feet up on an ottoman.

Everywhere. Bus, train, desk, on lines, in bed, on the fire escape while I smoke. Motion doesn't bother, noise doesn't distract.

these days, mostly at home (since i'm at home all the time anyways), mostly in the evening. when i have a break from school, i can do some reading in the afternoon, but now that i'm back in session, i have to spend that time on school reading (which doesn't count). i have to read at least a little bit right before i go to sleep at night, it helps my brain relax.

Mostly in my kitchen, in the hour or two before everyone wakes up (am currently on a great schedule!).

On the bus, at work during lunch break, in bed, all the time when nobody else is round (and since I work part-time, this is a couple of days a week).
