Isolated reading
Have u ever sat in a huge public area, sitting all by yourself reading a book? Its one of the most blissful experiences I know. I mean, maybe it would be great just to find the perfect nook and read in peace and quiet, but there is something much more immersing about a public readin experience. U suddenly exist to noone else but to you and your reality which is now the book. U have friends all around you, those created by your favorite author, and suddenly you belong in a new and forbidding environment. There is something about being able to find isolation in public. Something worth trying.

Hi,
I have never actually tried, as you say, "sitting all by yourself reading a book, in a huge public area". But I would agree with you on one point - whenever you are engrossed in some book you always seem to be surrounded by the characters of the book. You just lose sense of time and space. Nice thoughts!
