chrysalis_stage Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 oh well werewolves are horror in my book! The Book of Lost Things sounds quite good, I might add it to my wishlist oh you definitely should! I would recommend it to anyone (could be bit graphic for some people in bits i guess) and i havent even finished it yet Quote
Guest ii Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I'm most often reading in my study. The sofas are just to die for! Also, the old armchair in my bedroom is really comfortable, I like curling up into that one with a blanket. And the sofa in the livingroom, of course, that's where I go if I have food. I rarely use trains, I don't do public transportation, but I do read in planes. So basically anywhere where I can kick off the shoes and curl up. The only exception would be cafes, I love reading in cafes, surrounded by people. Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 When I lived in Ireland I used to take a book to my local pub on rainy days & spend the day sitting in the pub reading - 1 bottle of Bulmers with ice, please! Quote

Guest ii Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Small world my grandmother moved to Kenmare a few years before she died:roll: What exactly is your problem?!? Why would you roll your eyes at something like that? Quote
crotalus_p Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 What exactly is your problem?!? Why would you roll your eyes at something like that? Why exactly would you think I have a problem ?? It would appear you have misinterpreted my post Quote
Echo Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Actually, the rolling eyes smilie is weirdly placed. What is it supposed to indicate? Quote
Ben Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Why exactly would you think I have a problem ?? It would appear you have misinterpreted my post Maybe it's because you use the 'roll eyes' emoticon in pretty much every post. And it's not like you'd roll your eyes and talking about your grandmother dying in the same sentence. Quote
crotalus_p Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Actually, the rolling eyes smilie is weirdly placed. What is it supposed to indicate? If you look at it in the context of the post Quote
Echo Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 So, you're rolling your eyes at the coincidence? Is that what you mean? I guess the rolling eyes smilie just doesn't work right in the context, so it threw some of us off. Quote
Guest ii Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Why exactly would you think I have a problem ?? It would appear you have misinterpreted my post I have misinterpreted your post? And every other post you make where you roll your eyes at something. That seems to be your answer to every critique to your arguments and disagreement with some Holy Truth you, and you alone are privy of. Okay, let's say that I have. What DO you mean by that eye-rolling smiley? And do us both a favor and don't say "the smileys are there to be used". Yes, they are. They are there to help one add a gesture that cannot be seen on a forum like this, with written text standing for speech. They're there to convey a message, to add to the written words. And the gesture of rolling ones eyes at something or someone is, at least where I come from, a sign of disrespect and ridicule, an amused boredom at the object of discussion or the person talked to.

Echo Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks for clearing up the confusion! Let's get back on topic now. What is my favorite reading place? Well, since we've moved, we got rid of our old couch so my new reading place is in this old, ugly, brown chair my parents gave us. It used to be my boyfriend's favorite place, but he's since taken over our new couch, so it's my place now. Quote
Ahsilet Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 My favorite reading place is my room on my bed. I shut the door and block out the rest of the world. Quote
BrainFreeze Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 My favorite reading place is my room on my bed. I shut the door and block out the rest of the world. I have to admit that is heaven - you can really transport to a whole other world then. Quote
crotalus_p Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 My favorite reading place is my room on my bed. I shut the door and block out the rest of the world. I have an ideal spot in my bedroom for reading , my bed is under the window and said window gets sun for most of the day , I have whittled away many a morning reading in the sun light:D Quote
Kylie Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I love to read on the train and never have trouble concentrating, yet I can't read in other public places because I get too easily distracted. The worst for me is in waiting rooms. I just cannot concentrate when I'm in a waiting room, which is quite a shame because I have 3 appointments lined up for my first day off next week, and I'm supposed to be using that time to read! Oh well, I'll still try of course. Maybe I can manage a few paragraphs Otherwise, my favourite place is in my armchair in my library, with my ottoman underfoot, incense burning in the corner and the window open so I can listen to the birds and the wind in the trees.

This sounds amaaazzing.. I am totally going to have to have a room like this if we settle down in a place big enough to actually have an extra room (i.e. not NYC) ! Quote
Lucybird Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I love to read on the train and never have trouble concentrating, yet I can't read in other public places because I get too easily distracted. I can read quite well on buses, I've even missed stops because of it. I can read in cafes too, otherwise I would never get my coffee! My favourite places to read though are curled up on the sofa or in bed. I used to love reading in the bath too when we had one Quote
