Reading positions: 15 fabulous pictures and cartoons

Reading positions - cartoons, pictures, and charts

These pictures and cartoons hilariously define the body language every book reader can identify with.

How long can you read a book without changing the position? Is it 15 minutes, an hour, or more?

No matter how long a person can survive staying in the same position in the same place, it’s advisable to change frequently.

It’s not only about keeping the comfort of reading on a high level, it’s about preventing the body from distracting you when you read.

We’ve explored the web in order to find the examples how readers cope with reading for long hours. Some of the pictures are surprisingly true and accurate, some give us a loud laugh, all of them show that changing reading positions is more than just a skill.
