READING, THE THIRD BEST THING TO DO IN BED

Most of us like the warm, horizontal comfort of the bed, for our daily rendez-vous with literature. If this is the case, you will have no doubt more than once nodded off in the course of the evening, only to find yourself awakening with a shock and read the same phrase for the fifth time, trying stubbornly to stick to the plot.  All of this to realize the next morning at breakfast that you've forgotten half of what you've read the night before.

            

Page turners, clockwise from top; little girl reading bed by Robert Wagt, Joe Kaufman's take on the same subject, who else but Norman Rockwell, man reading in book bed  by Andrew Joyner, not a reader but we just loved this illustration by Oldrich Syrovatka, penguin reading on a radiator bed by Paul  Thurlby, two cats reading a book on a bed by Rudi Hurzlmeier, pig reading by the light of the moon by Japanese illustrator Yusuke Yonezu.
