What does your reading space look like?
Pic stolen from anon from here
Here's mine
This chair belongs to a couch collection but it wont' fit in the living room so I just threw it in the corner of my room
I love chilling here and reading, or in my bed
And I did that painting

I was just thinking about this...does anyone know a general good chair for someone with lower back pain? A more supportive, upright back chair? or a more cushioned chair...I just need something that helps ;_;
>>7683958
I don't mean to be rude, but it looks like the striking majority of your books are memecore.
>>7683989
son, do you know how to read?
>>7683971
i think sitting up straight might actually worsen back problems, and that the best way to sit is at a certain angle. it was a few years ago so i forgot. google it.
>>7683971
Ask a doctor
There are a lot of places around the city I like reading. I usually wander around with a book
This hill is nice in the warmer months
>>7683971
You should lie down and read. If you dislike holding up a book, you can put it on the ground and read with your head turned. Another hot idea is getting a low glass table and lying underneath it wih your book face down.
My bed
Trying out a music stand
>>7684302
i need something dawg
i find myself with a neck at 90 degrees, i'll be cripple in months
you liking that stand method?
>>7684334
Yeah it makes it so I can read with my head and back straight, or with only a slight bow in my head.
It's nice but I still have to hold my hands up to keep the pages pinned down. I'm working on a solution.
I read in my shitty old desk chair that squeaks every time I move or shift my weight in the slightest. Feels bad man. 0/10 comfy.

Desperately needs a bookshelf, but otherwise 11/10
>>7684340
My solution
>>7684340
i'm imagining two clamps with some sort of plastic or metal piece, bent at a right angle, attached to the clip
you attach it to the lip on the stand and the angled piece lies against the book
>>7684398
Yikes. How many minutes does it take you to turn a page with that setup?
>>7684407
not long... 20-30 seconds max. The hangers slide around easily enough. takes me about 2 minutes to read a page so that 4 minutes not holding a book for each turn of the page.
>>7683958
My reading space looks exactly like this pic.
This is tower for hunters, they are shotting hoars from it. Forest and empty fields around, biggest piece i could imagine. I read there when weather is good
Combined with the battlestation
>>7683935
Looks comfy except for the useless trash on the arm/backrest that's meant to be decorative at the expense of practicality.You're a girl, aren't you?

Deadlifts.
>>7686431
I've been so on the fence about this. I'm going to see a doctor....surely going and doing deadlifts for gains will fuck up my back? I suppose I'm in the realm of rehabilitation. Why am I even posting this on this board.

That's a bloody shit way to keep your books. Imagine the annoyance of trying to grab the 2nd lowest book.
>>7686578
It's not that hard at all, you should try it sometime.
>>7686502
I was over-estimating. But even if it took a full 30 seconds its worth reading hands-free with good posture

Mine. The chair is as comfortable as they come.
>>7683971
Sitting is the worst thing for lower back problems. Lay down and read, it'll be good for you.
My setup looks something like this.
>>7686461
Doing deadlifts will only further aggravate the problem. I recommend doing some foam roller work on the lower back.
ITT: cringe
Don't thank me.
Can anyone give me some tips on making my place as comfy as all these look? I'm damn jealous.
>>7691996
Find a comfy seat. Pick a general aesthetic that appeals to you. Fill your room with furniture that fits that aesthetic and books.

Maybe it's better if he doesn't. Overposting as a specific entity leads to hostility from most of this forum.
It would be better for the emotional environment of this board if he only pops up every once in a while. Also, if his images have already been posted, what more do you want from him? Sure he seemed to know a lot about furniture and Danish modernism, but he dumped so much fucking info last thread that's still there in the archive to pour over.
>>7695075

It was obvious he knew what he was talking about and he surely have dozens of threads worth of fresh informations. I would definitely speak with him again. This kind of person can't get rejected, he's too knowledgeable. He's the type of guy that suddenly appears in a thread filled with bullshit to politely back the fuck out of all the liars and posers with unquestionable facts he stacked over the years.

As mentioned earlier in this thread and in the archive, the chair is a Carl Hansen CH445. The ottoman is the CH446.
Lamp is a refurbished 5-armed Jielde lamp.
Furniture-san mentioned in the last thread that the table was Fritz Hansen and it was adjustable, which means it can only be the Fritz Hansen KS11 with a wood veneer top.
