Reading Spot
Now that I'm back taking classes at Northeastern, I've had to spend many hours reading my textbook and other supplemental material. I've been unable to find the perfect reading spot. There are three qualities that my perfect spot would have:
- The right chair. If I'm reading for a couple of hours I don't want to have to keep shifting because I'm getting uncomfortable.
- Good lighting. I hate having to shift a glossy magazine around when I'm reading it because the light is reflecting off the pages. The right light I find also doesn't tire out my eyes as quickly.
- Uniform or no noise. I can tune out fans and most other steady background noise. Random noise I find too distracting, especially when I'm reading material that doesn't have my full attention. Street traffic, provided the cars aren't honking isn't too bad.
At this point I'm still struggling to find such a spot. I almost had one, but couldn't get over the random noise caused by a TiVo.
