You can hide inside the lectern in the big conference room for whole afternoons at a time and go completely unnoticed. But be careful: if you are discovered, accusations of corporate espionage are sure to fly.  Reading: The Death of Bees

The kitchen is a high-traffic area. If you plan to read in it, make sure to tuck yourself someplace where you won’t be in the way. Reading: THE FUTURE OF FOOD.

Between the window and the wall there is a space just wide enough to stand in. Breathing is difficult, and reading is nearly impossible. To make this nook manageable it’s best to choose a very small book like Stephanie LaCava’s An Extraordinary Theory of Objects.

There is nothing so full of promise as a closet full of galleys. It’s like a nursery: these infant books have no net sales or disappointing reviews or average-star-ratings anywhere. Just being among them makes one feel as though the possibilities are endless. Reading: THE ART OF THINKING CLEARLY by Rolf Dibelli

hydeparkproduce: Regenstein Bookstacks. This reminds me of being a kid. My dad was a library director at Columbia and insisted upon bringing me to the stacks to research papers as early as middle school. I had seen Ghostbusters, so I knew what was up and was rightfully terrified, but I went anyway.  One time I was researching a paper about Roald Dahl. I ended up writing (read: plagiarizing) that he was a “genial lounger.” And that’s why it’s pointless to send a sixth-grader to a university library. Also, this looks like an awesome reading nook.
