Use a Ziploc bag to keep your book dry
You could also make a see through book weight so you have a free hand for food or drinks
You can make a book/Ereader stand out of an old coat hanger
If you don't have time to read you could always get an audio book version and listen while you clean your house or sit outside
When you have a book that has too many pages read a few pages a day and you will eventually finish it
when it is dark outside or inside and you want to finish your book get a flashlight or glow stick be careful with a candle you don't want to burn your book
If your power goes out for a few days but you want to read your book do it during the day
If you have a wet book spread it out so the pages don't stick together and put a fan on it or sit it outside in the sun it might be crinkly but you saved it do not save a book that looks moldy it is not good for your health.
