I Read where I Am
I Read where I Am: Exploring New Information Cultures | Mieke Gerritzen, Geert Lovink, Minke Kampman
9 posts
'I Read Where I Am' compiles 82 reflections on future forms of reading. How will we grapple with compressed narratives and the fluid bombardment of text? What are the dialectics between image and word? How will our information machines generate new reading cultures? Can reading become a live, mobile social experience?

#idealBookatoir @BarbaraTheBibliophage

Since I am usually with a book, I enjoy reading in quiet parks, surrounded by lush greenery.
I realised I have often found myself reading near water bodies like reservoirs, and even creeks (my birthday treat, in Penang last year ;))
I couldn't find the picture of the book I took near the Ganges, as I read facing the majestic Himalayas. #memories

MissAimz_55 I love being surrounded by nature when I read! 7y
GatheringBooks west coast park? which reminds me, i haven‘t gone to any of the parks for awhile now. :( 7y

BookishMe @GatheringBooks the gazebo is along the Southern Ridges Walk (can't recall if that's near Kent Ridge or Mt Faber ;o) and the bottom photo was taken at Bedok Reservoir. Chinese Garden is convenient/ nearest for you? Can't recall seating spots there. Botanical Gardens is BEST for quiet reading almost anytime ;D 7y
GatheringBooks @BookishMe our faves are east coast or west coast park. it‘s been ages since we‘ve been to botanic park. 7y
BookishMe @GatheringBooks I could say the same for East Coast. I think the last visit was way before Marina Cove/ Greenland Park? Somewhere along the way, children have outgrown West Coast Park ;(( 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Good call and some beautiful spots. The world is your bookatoir! 7y
BookishMe @BarbaraTheBibliophage I LIKE that - The world IS Our Bookatoir! 💓💓 7y

This is my favorite reading spot in the house. It's downstairs with lots of light and my cozy chair. Unfortunately I never get to enjoy it much anymore since my mother in law had to move downstairs to my dining room. She is ill and though she has been living with us for three years she now can't use stairs so she is in the dining room and blares her tv so loud I can't read. So I usually just read upstairs. I miss my cozy reading corner 😢

Day 2 Riotgrams - Like everyone else on Litsy I read whenever and wherever I can, but this is my dedicated reading chair where I do most of my reading when I'm home. It's comfy and cozy and surrounded by bookshelves so it makes me happy 😊 #whereiread #riotgrams

I really do read where I am--especially when in the car waiting for a kid. But this is my reading chair. Books, a spot for my drink, and a blanket! The cats like it too. #whereiread #riotgrams

Zelma Very similar to my favorite reading spot! Tropical print, wooden chair, spot for my coffee and cats. 👍 (edited) 8y
CouronneDhiver Looks comfy... they have chairs similar to that at my local IKEA. 8y
DreesReads @CouronneDhiver it's from ikea 😉 8y
CouronneDhiver Haha! Brilliant. Maybe I need to get one too 😁 8y
