My mother and grandmother used to nag at me, saying "You'll ruin your eyes, reading in that dim light." Well, I'm still reading, but with contacts.Michele Drierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944263184981732147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-91378489923964623002012-11-25T11:27:39.647-05:002012-11-25T11:27:39.647-05:00And perhaps your favorite spot should be the place...And perhaps your favorite spot should be the place you are when you are reading.<br /><br />~ Jim (the Zen philosopher - ha!)Jim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-86665669930512886242012-11-25T10:27:29.448-05:002012-11-25T10:27:29.448-05:00These days I seem to read most often while having ...These days I seem to read most often while having coffee or tea at a table.

I also read in an old willow in the summer and in my bed at night.<br /><br />Today my favorite place to read is in my nesting chair in the living room and in my bed at night. I always carry a TIME magazine with me in the outside pocket of my purse (It's not big enough for a book) when I go any place so I have something to read if I have to wait.

I too would read under the covers with a flashlight. The first time I remember doing so, I was reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck--racy stuff! The luxury to read whatever I wanted whenever I want sounds like paradise (especially if it's at the beach).E. B. Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746747050278597888noreply@blogger.com
