Heh heh heh.  I tried reading like this once.  I didn't even make it as far as Panel 1.

Fantastic job recreating the show's art style!  The amount of work you put into the background is also phenomenal; this looks like it could be screencaps from the show!

Alternatively railroad spikes. I had that sort-of in mind (IDM Friendship is Magic #9 and #10 are sitting on the shelf beside me), but it's also a riff off of a book I'm reading: an original hardcover copy of Pierre Berton's books on the building of the Canadian Pacific Railroad 'The National Dream 1871-1880' and 'The Last Spike: 1881-1886'.

Seriously, the educational system is so messed up.
Earth ponies have to read books like... that, and write with their faces up against the page.
...Not cool, Celestia.

You will never find a solution...

I spend the last ten years trying... T_T..
The best way i found is either laying on your stomach and propping your chin up with a pillow then leaning the book right in front of you against the head-board. *which is not fully comfortable for your back and gives you indigestion*
OR.
Laying on your side and propping your head sideways with your arm and keeping the pillow in the space between your propped head and your arm leaning on the bed. While holding or laying the book down in front of you, against the bed-side, or held up with your other hand. *this eventually cuts off circulation to the arm your propping your head on.*

I see you've spent a lot of time thinking about it  Luckily I only read for a little bit before going to sleep. When I read more I think I used to just sit against the wall/headboard with a pillow and read. Thanks for the tips though!

A hardback book is nothing compared to getting faced with a phone, or a tablet, or a laptop
(All of which unfortunately I know personally)

So basically, they're not actually reading, but having a contest to see who can keep their arms up for the longest time.

I was thinking about having Big Mac trying to do that, but I couldn't figure out how. So I cut out the plan of having a third and fourth panel, and just made it two.
