I read in a glider. (A chair used for rocking all three of my babies years ago.) I love it. Curled into the soft, worn fabric and letting it rock me while I’m whisked away.

It is situated in the corner of my office by a tiny table for my coffee.

I hope you love your new chair!

The subatomic particles/faster than speed of light thing threw me, too.

Unsettling.

I guess I’m the opposite. I love reading on my couch or in my bed. I’m at a desk for a good portion of my work day and then for a while longer when it’s time to write at night. I like being able to get in a different position and move around at will.

Sometimes I’ll bring a beach chair out on my patio, though. As long as I can cross my legs like a pretzel, I’m happy. I do a lot of reading on my exercise bike, too, but that’s more to pass the time as I cycle.

Funny, I just blogged this week about how I need to start reading while sitting up. I lay down, I nod off. When did that start?? Anyway … I, too, will be needing a good chair. I’ve tried the couch and, while it feels comfortable at the time, I’m pretty sure it’s killing my back.

This bad news week is a good time to stop reading the news and get to my stack of new books: The Art of Fielding, Life with a Star, We the Animals, and The Tragedy of Arthur await.
