Strange place to read a book.

[Mumak o' Harad]

1- During an endless trial at the Local Court of Justice, pretending to be reading the case files (if my boss ever knew...).

2- Inside a 40 feet Container laden with 25 pound bags of Canadian lentil during the stevedores' lunch break.

Hm. I haven't read Tolkien in any really weird places... well, no. I have. My room is the weirdest place you'll find on Earth.

- In Nijniy Novgorod, Russia

- In Boston, Massatchusette (I still can't spell that, even though I've lived there for over 2 years...) USA

- In Toronto Ontario Canada... where I've read most of it... but that's not weird...

- In the middle of nowhere in a cabin. Well, not exactly "nowhere" - it was northwestern Ontario.

- In the middle of nowhere in northeastern Ontario, but this time in a tent

- In a car

- On a bus

- On a plane

- In Varadero, Cuba

- In school, when I think that the lesson is not important enough for me to listen

- When my parents think I'm doing homework... (me bad girl! )

- When my friends are talkin about a topic that I'm not passionate about (one of them says that I look up every time she calls my name, even though I don't pay attention to what they say. Weird!)

- In a bathtub (I stopped reading Tolkien there after I accidentlly dipped a tip of The Sil in the watter... It dried, but it's a bit lumpy now. It's not pretty. But I read other books like that - books that I don't care about how they look as much.)

- At night with a flashlight.



Long useless list, most of which applies to everybody.

You'd be suprised how much of The Lord of the Grins I wrote on The Porcelain Throne

Yup. Been there, done that.

I used to cart along my copies of LotR with me everywhere. They've been all over Alaska, down the Alcan, stayed in Washington, and even been to Britain. Yes, I had a bag full of Tolkien books in Britain. They were heavy.

I read Tolkien at the Girdwood Forest Fair (emphasising the word 'exotic'). Which really isn't the most exciting place, but I was surrounded by hippies.
I've read Tolkien driving across lakes in the middle of winter, and at the Moose Dropping Festival (yeah, there is actually such a thing).
I have also read Tolkien in Yellowstone.

The best place to read Tolkien, though, is outside under a tree on a warm summer's day.

I agree with that 100%.

I disagree. I prefer reading on a tree. (I forgot to say that in my last post for some reason). I love climbing trees! Almost as much as reading Tolkien. But under a tree is good as well.
