Memorable reading spots

Inspired by Jen Robinson's list of memorable places she has read I thought I would belatedly do the same.

Warning: nostalgia under this cut )

Love love love the picture, Emma! I'm so happy that my musings sparked you to remember some of your reading spots. I have books that are tied to particular locations, too. I listen to books on MP3 when I go for walks, and I have certain books that are forever tied in my mind with places I've been on trips, where I was able to spend time listening. It's a neat extra level of memory.

Have a great week!

I'm happy one of my parents thought to take the photo!

The more I think about it, the more places I can tie to particular books. I'm glad that's true for other people too!

Only trouble with this idea is, those books you read in the doctor's office.

I'm hoping I won't always associate "Don Quixote" with chemotherapy! But I did enjoy the book....

Ah, sorry, misunderstood you. You are perfectly right. Unfortunately I read a book in a bad situation and when I look at the same edition now I remember that time. But the book was not that great - I presume if it had been the book-love would have outweighed the memories. Was Don Quixote good?
