I love books. Opportunities for uninterrupted reading in my life are limited. It seems I have stacks of books, newspapers and magazines everywhere. I even get excited when I travel by airplane – I get on the plane carrying a giant bag and hit the recycle bin on the way off, dropping the 15 to 20 magazines I finished during the flight. It is bliss when I find myself at home, childless for an evening with time to read.
When I read Nathan Turner’s response to what was on his nightstand in this quickie interview in LUXE magazine, I smiled a giant smile. It made me think of what makes me feel comfortable in someone’s home: comfy chairs at the dining table, eclectic art, big water glasses, pets, and books – lots and lots of books.
It made me think about the many “reading lunches” I have had with one of my good friends. We plan a lunch together and choose to read in each other’s company instead of having conversation. It is wonderful.
