Show me your comfiest reading place
This is at my university. Used to do all of my readings for a class here.
humboldt park, chicago
>>8185949
>reading in public
disgusting
pic related
At home on the comfy couch. A copy of Ulysses in hand.
I don't really have a good shot of my comfiest place, but here is a shot of my third comfiest reading place.
>>8185949
What country was this photo taken in?
>>8186415
Latvia
>>8186084
really comfy looking apartment tbqh
i'm too embarassed to read in public
>>8186594
me too
home is always the right and secure choice
In my bed.
>>8186084
Nice looking place!
>>8185972
Where in Humboldt park is this?
Nelson Atkins Museum of Art. That spot on the top of the hill, in front of the bright white building. Its actually pretty high up, no one can really see you from the foot paths. Great place to smoke a joint and read a book.
>>8186032
I wouldn't pull the lever for you
Mhm
In bed of course
>>8185949
Step it up, normies.
>>8186725
>mini-maze
>transparent so hobos don't use it as a rape dungeon
I want one for my lawn now
I have none
>>8186871
tfw I have a guinness mirror and bottle of bells too.I was going to try and one-up you by taking a photo of a book in the freezer but can't be arsed to.
Rate it
>>8186919
Tall, unkept grass. Probably full of insects, snakes and frogs. 0/10
>>8186919
>tfw you will never live in that lighthouse.
>>8186956
It's actually a stone bench, I'll take a different pic after work
>>8186919
Must be nice reading To The Lighthouse there.
Though I also greatly enjoyed it lying on my carpet, high.
>>8186032
is that auschwitz
>>8186032
Well, I read a book in the parking lot of the camp where Anne Frank died and was buried. It was an Anne Frank biography. I was high and cried.
Favorite place to be, favorite thing to do
>>8187072
Ugly feet desu
post soles though
>>8187072
hey bby
But in all honesty: that place looks rad.
>>8187077
>>8187093
>>8187107
This doesn't make any sense.
>>8187093
Here's some sunshine
Why have a pretty place to read in? Wouldn't it only distract?
Honestly, the ideal would be a fucking dungeon, a cellar or an unfurnished room.
>>8187112
How lush
>>8187072
I hope there's some alcohol in that soda.
all my old favorite places are ruined in the summer because there's always someone mowing the lawn or doing maintenance and it's creepy to be all alone in empty buildings; and heat and bugs
when the temp is 45-55 with no wind is peak cozy outdoor reading time
>>8187123
Actually, that's Jäger, so, yeah
>>8186919
Too exposed, hope you like skin cancer.
>>8187135
Sweet. What are you reading?
Bed.
>>8187072
Are you ticklish?
>>8186864
nice """""book"""""
>>8187117
Little distraction doesn't make you dislike a book or something.
Anyway, in OP's place there are no distractions. Sometimes a car drives by. I can literally focus on book and breathe fresh air, and start a shitty thread in /lit/ that somehow got more than 10 replies.
>>8187156
It's a local modernist author, you wouldn't know him
>>8187166
Yea, I kinda am
>>8187234
Nice.
>>8187146
Good point my gf gets on me about wearing jeans also. Need to find some comfy pjs -- rec?
>>8187072
Whoever designed that terazza likely bastardized Palladio from a textbook.
>>8186587
Thanks -- I try to keep everything you minimal to reduce clutter. Eyeballing another book tower soon with more books on the way.
It's one of the few n. Italian apartments with central a/c. Lots of natural light is mandatory.
>>8187234
Can I tickle you?
>>8186956
>>8186919
These two are sitting where I normally do
There aren't usually people here
>>8187342
Actually, we only had an idea that it should look mediterraneish, and it came up this way. Not really designed, heh
At this little coffee shop underneath my favorite book store.
>>8187506
Forgot picture
>>8185949
Not my favourite, I just happened to be there yesterday.
>>8187524
Not bad to be honest with you
>>8187511
Mooie stad, meneer
>>8185972
Are you the cause of that bent, you fat fuck?
>>8187511
Those women look europpeen, the cash register is on the europe side instead of the american side as well, where is this city.
>>8187563
That's what I thought too until I found two ticks feeding on my blubbery belly this morning, up to their necks in the goodness that is I. Now I'm hoping I have enough time to finish starting with the Greeks before the neurological symptoms of Lyme's disease kick in.
>>8187652
>file name
>>8187658
It could be beethovens surname or pet name, thank you though.
>>8187663
Mea culpa
You're welcome, it's a city in the Netherlands
>>8187628
haha, dank u beste kerel
>>8187524
I don't understand, it's like someone built one building and then cloned it?
It's very isolated, which is nice. But it's also a hard to trek back down to the city when the rain starts.
It doesn't get much comfier
>>8187329Sweat pants.
>>8187844
>tfw mong and posted sideways pic
sorry bros
this thread is terrible and all of you should be executed.
"comfy reading spots" is such a instagram-millennial piece of tripe. Who the fuck cares where you read. Your environment shouldn't affect the study of literature to any degree, so fuck off with your reading-in-the-woods kitsch. Reading isn't some Victorian-Transcendentalist fantasy that you romanticize with self-masturbatory Waldean-airs. The best place to read is a desk and a chair with a good source of light, because that's all you fucking need to read a book.
If i see another pair of crossed legs with a smug self-important caption from the anonymous shit-eater I'm going to shoot up my local park. Neck yourselves.
>>8185956
My neck hurts just looking at that photo.
>>8187863
>he doesn't know the pleasure of reading a book where your environment matches that of the book's
I feel sorry for you.
>>8187863
The only thing worse than participating is whinging about those who participate. A dignified man would simply have ignored the thread.
>>8187863
writing that was more self-masturbatory and smug than the entire thread combined
>>8187863
>getting mad at people for reading out in the sun and having a good time
>getting this mad about bullshit
I generally read at home but if I want some sun and fresh air and a change of setting I read at the botanical garden near my apartment. Pic related. There generally aren't that many people there and the sounds of the water running and the birds chirping soothes me.
>>8187915
Is that the actual place? Where is it?
>>8187863
Pretentious or not, I think this thread is worthwhile as an anthropological insight of the locales within the urban habitus that invite quietude and contemplation.
This sort of display is vastly more interesting if you interpret it as an ethnographer instead of a grouchy guppy.
>>8187921
It's the native plant garden at the New York Botanical Garden, yeah.
>>8187944
>New York
Are you a richfag?
>>8187936
>pretentious or not
>worthwhile as an anthropological insight of the locales within the urban habitus that invite quietude and contemplation
thanks for clearing that up
>>8187951
>Bronx
nope
>>8187135
Lol, what the fuck? What kind of maroon drinks Jäger like that (or at all after freshman year)?
>>8187953
sorry should have read "into" not "of"
Home
>>8187834
This is so beautiful, where was it taken?
>>8187863
Outside is nicer than at a desk though
>>8187863
guaranteed responses
honest to goodness quite comfortable. looks out at shitty buildings but I put the chair near the window for natural light mostly.
>>8185972
near the southeast corner of it, by damen and north ave
>>8189143
Thanks for responding. Looks awesome. I hope to visit this summer while I'm in Chicago.
>>8189134
That looks chill as fuck anon.
>>8189193
hope you get the chance to check it out
I would sit on the stairs in front of the student union building with a pipe (dont hate) and some tobacco they mix down the way.
The boat is called "HORIZON LINES". It didnt leave port for over a decade.
Left last month though after Id long left town.
At work tbqh, it's quiet, lonely, nobody bothers me, got cold beer and warm food at all times and a comfy chair.
>>8187072
Your crooked toes tell me your posture is lacking
You should try to breathe more thru your nose rather than your mouth
>>8187524
Sarajevo?
>>8188200
Looks like Hobart to me.
>>8187936
>Smoking
Stop
>>8189774
>Not smoking
Start.
>>8189711
No, Brașov.
>>8185949
Slut.
At home I have a big armchair in a well-lit room that I like to read in.
At school I go down to the creek when it's warm out and sit on the dock.
>>8185949
This is outside my town's public library, used skip boring college classes to sit on the stairway where I took this pic and read for few hours, miss doing it, enjoy reading in the middle of the "chaos" rather than a quiet room
>>8187863
>desk
Good bait desu.
>>8190189
>we wuz white
>>8189134
aesthetic as fuck
i'm kinda jelly
what city is that?
I do my reading in the pool while working on my tan, like any respectable man would.
>>8187511
>onder de rivieren
>in een koffie salon
not even once
Shitty school tho
>>8191282
I want to jack off into your pool.
I stole this a few months ago from Furniture-san. I'm envious.
>>8186084
Who wears jeans when they're at home? At least you're not wearing shoes that would've really triggered me. I only read on my bed, a couch or on the grass depending on weather. And of course I wear my turkish harem pants for home use.

>>8192000
>turkish harem pants
lol, unless you're Turkish that's cultural appropriation and you should be ashamed of yourself.
>>8187072
Nice legs. Please say you're a guy.
>>8187072
i want to berry my face in your soles and inhale your foot fumes for the rest of my life
fuck you all.
>>8187511
All of the women look tall. I'd feel like such an inadequate little man living there. Fortunately I live among many Asians.
>>8191992
This is actually really nice anon. I'm digging the aesthetic.
>outside
I'll read any place outside with tons of light. Or when it's storming. Ambience helps combat my constant fight/flight urges.
>>8185949
I'm not going to show you my bathroom.
>>8191992
>the degree of difficulty of taking out a book is coupled with its position in the stack
nice design there
ITT: "I don't actually like reading, I just like the image of reading"
>>8192318
Ah, the Modern Library edition of In Search of Lost Time. Nice.
>>8186956
Afraid of insects, snakes and expecting frogs where there are none.
>>8187524
Yurope in last spring/early summer next to a hill on a sunny day. Nothing beats that.
>>8192154
You're weird...
>>8187072
Yuck
>>8192145
It's a girl
>>8185956
that place sucks it reminds me of like the 80s for some reason
go around the corner and theres this tiny step overlooking amsterdam
this is where i read
>>8186864
>muh guns
>muh fragile masculinity
>>8192942
nice projecting you fucking limp-wristed beta, bet you got fucking ptsd while watching a war movie you fucking flea
>>8192997
no but i would have ptsd after reading that grrm garbage
>>8189212
Humboldt Park is pretty nice, a little hard to get anywhere though. A few of my favorite Chicago reading spots include the conservatory a little to the south of there (free admission!) the 9th floor of the Harold Washington Library, and Promontory Point in Hyde Park.
>>8191993
If only this were a comfy attic.
>>8192321
>my constant fight/flight urges
How'd that happen?
>>8192754
Do you actually attend Columbia or just read there?
>reading in public
the most subtle way of being an attention whore
>>8194967
what's wrong with your sisters teeth.
>>8194992
yeah PRETTY much pmt....
>>8195006
Did someone save that guys pic? I think it was his sister or his girlfriend. Need to spread that.
>>8195027
>>8195006
Found it, tell me /lit/ bro why'd you delete this.
>>8192997
nice projecting
What do you think friends?
>>8186084
Time to invest in a wine fridge, anon.
>>8191967
Would you jack off in the pool, or just jack off into the pool while standing over it?
>>8187072
I am not ashamed to say that I just masturbated to your picture, really, and I want to thank you for posting it. I'll have a shot of Jäger on you.
Wherever I am, I can read. Right now next to the airport waiting for my flight.
>>8195038

>>8198608
>having multiple hobbies is bad
>>8197692
hell yeah man. I love listening to latin american literature while smoking joints. Bolano, Borges, and Bong Rips is a good combination.
>>8198608
Fuck off man DFW watched TV. Baudelaire smoked Hash. I'm sure there's been some author that has played guitar before.
>>8198728
>I'm sure there's been some author that has played guitar before.
Yeah, Stephen King.
>>8187072
nice feet
im gay though
This is where I get done some of my reading
>>8199000
You'd get soggy books all the time if you actually read there
>>8198608
1) The guitar is not mine.
2) Who the fuck doesn't watch tv? I like being normal.
3) If you haven't learned to enjoy weed, yes you are missing out.
>>8192318
Sorry for sounding creepy but this looks so cozy anon, I just want to quietly pad up to your bed like a cat and then snuggle into its endless comfiness, and mess up all the blankets by curling up in them.
R8 and h8. Reading in muh fish farm.
>>8199961
looks comfy as fuck m8, enjoy
>>8195873
>orval
>chimay
pretty nice beers. which airport?
>>8199961
How do you deal with the undoubtedly copious amounts of bugs that fly around?
>>8200486
Stay indoors from 7 to 8pm. Just 1 hour a day of mosquitos.
