They know me well there, and I order a meal or some soup and salad and a drink and settle in to read. The waitresses automatically refill the drink and no one generally disturbs me with how is everything and want this or this? I read and relax and think and it is just so peaceful and feels so sinful. I am one of those people who can shut everything out when immersed in a good book and this to me is the perfect way to take a break from school work.<BR/><BR/>Mary2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-70162992469146586652007-05-02T22:06:00.000-04:002007-05-02T22:06:00.000-04:00My favorite place to read is outside my dorm room ...My favorite place to read is outside my dorm room on the lawn.

Great entries - all of them. <BR/><BR/>My favorite place to read - anywhere I can open a book. I leave books all over the house so that no matter what room I'm in, I can pick one up and read. When I go out, the book I'm currently reading goes with me. My DH says I would still be reading even if nuclear war broke out all around me and would only glance up if my place in the book was disturbed.
