Get your pet to act out your favourite chapter
Mr Tiddles might not understand the full works of Shakespeare but surely he can get his acting chops around "To be or not to be..."
Stand on your hands (but leave the book the right way up)
Everything goes swimmingly until you need to turn that page.
Project the book onto a tall building then abseil down it while reading
The added bonus is that people for miles around gets to read along too.
Record yourself reading the book backwards from the end, then play it back.

Perfect, you're exercising body and mind at the same time.
Read out loud in the 'no noise' bit of the library

Have a friend stand with a book and turn the pages for you as you bungee jump above them
