Sounds pretty literary if you ask me.

i read on my bed with my sleeping dog cuddled into me

>>11916391
That's me except I have no bookshelf, I just leave the books on the floor

This is usually where I read.

>>11916879
If I'm reading on my kindle however then I sit on my beanbag in the corner.

>>11916879
clean that shit man
also how many bodies are you hiding on the other side that panel behind the desk

>>11916898
Time spent cleaning is time spent not reading/shitposting.

please redact your comment about the space I don't hide my bodies there

I want to have one, but it'll take a long time..

>>11916898
the's clearly in a loft conversion, if you hid bodies in there the decay would seep into you insulation and make your house gross

>>11916913
That honestly seems terribly uncomfy.

>>11916879
>This is usually where I masturbate to that one Goodreads chick

>>11916931
hasnt stopped killers before desu
dennis nilsen had like 4 decaying bodies in his floorboards at once and he lived in a flat

>>11916934
Why? That chair looks comfy af

This is the dream.

>>11916945
That is pretty awesome, architecturally

>>11916945
I wonder how practical that would be as a place to live.

I use this, not much but it's nice and I enjoy it. I don't have any bookshelves yet, all of my books are stacked on my dresser.
I like to imagine having something like this, sitting in a small /comfy/ cabin in the remote desert, or Forrest. Having one of the walls being entirely glass, or plexiglass.

No, I Iive in a 3rd world dump where people do not respect privacy, so I make good use of earplugs instead.

>>11916913
that's the only nice place
the other ones require too much artificial light

I only read pdfs while sitting on a stool.

>>11916934

You've clearly never sat in an Eames lounge chair.

>>11916581
This.

>not paying a water bill for water which has dangerously high levels of chlorine and various other carcinogens as opposed to surrounding areas, so you have to drink bottled water instead of tap

>>11916935
Which one? Please share.

>>11917071
No I was saying that’s what he does.

>>11916942
I was mostly thinking about the glass and cabinets. It seems cold and the glare from the sun would be horrifically annoying. The cabinets are a huge waste of space, I would never own anything that should be stored in my reading room. I like the floor and rug though.

>>11916955
There’s probably more living space off to the side. I imagine that “lounge” is roughly half to a third of the actual floor space.

>>11916581
Thanks for the chuckles, anon. I really needed that.

>>11917239
Yeah but think about all the amenities needed there: kitchen, toilet, bed, utility room for washing machine and dryer, misc storage. It seems very small to be anything other than a single room retreat with a larger house nearby.

are you more likely to appreciate or understand literature while reading in a comfy nook as opposed to an uncomfy hovel

>>11917656
wrong

>>11917656
You are more likely to appreciate a book when your environment is not distracting.

>>11917656
nowhere since you dont notice your surroundings you are just hooked in the book
as long as theres good lighting you dont need much else

>>11916391
This is how I live. I happily await death.

Use them and put some of those gun earmuffs over it. I used to live above a party bar and work early mornings. Best thing I did.

>>11918369
It's pretty nice. Just moved in a couple months ago, so I'm really looking forward to getting some use out of the fireplace when colder weather rolls around.

>>11916340
on my bed, in my boyfriend's arms

if i had one

>>11918888
That sounds like it would be an uncomfortable position to read in for extended periods.

>>11918913
I dig the lighting but that chair looks like it's murder on your back

>>11918913
pale king owns hope you enjoy it

Having booze at your desk is really sad desu.

>>11916391
>tfw I am just laying on my mattress that is itself just laying on the floor.
It was an interesting way to live when I had even less than I do now. I once had literally only my mattress, my comforter, one set of work clothes although I worked five days a week, two t-shirts and one pair of jeans, a handful of books, and a ten year old netbook. I didn't even have heat in the winter or A/C in the summer. I once left a glass of water out overnight while I was sleeping and when I woke up in the morning it was frozen solid. It was an interesting way to live, I actually got out and experienced a lot in life during that time.

>>11916913
Absolutely disgusting.

>>11916340
I only read the stoics while sitting on the ground. Everything else is superfluous and faulty.

>>11917090
>I like the rug
I’d slap you but I suppose not everyone can be a half Iranian with heirloom Persian rugs in every damn room. Iranians have a serious rug problem

>>11919045
The colors are a little weird, but I really like the style.

>>11918913
Look a that carpet abhorrent.

>>11919014
Kind of reminds me when I had to stay in a buddhist temple for a month
Except no books and no netbooks.

>>11916957
What is that chair called? I want one.

>>11916391
Actually me, and it is probably the cheapest apartment in the US. They cant steal anything of value here so I am good.

I usually just read at my desk or on my bed. Keep in mind I don't have a vast physical library since I mostly just read on my Kindle Paperwhite.

>>11919492
Kindle Paperwhites are amazing, they're definitely a quality of life buy.

>>11919499
Is that just flash reflection or is the part that says kindle on yours gray?

>>11919499
What a shitty typeface god damn

>>11919533
It's just a flash from my camera.

>>11919542
Looks the same as reading a book to me. Not really sure what your issue is.

>>11918872
Oh wow I didn't even notice the fireplace. Comf increased

I usually read in bed with my window and fan on.

>>11919924
If I want a change of scenery I read in my server / quest room in that office chair. It's honestly quite comfy despite the appearance.

>>11916340
>comfy nook
ew like you're a spider or something

>>11916913
wasn't there some guy in here a few weeks back it was talking about how the Eames lounge chair was shit for the money?

>>11919425
I got it from an Amazon merchant, it's called "Giantex Folding Lazy Sofa Chair Stylish Sofa Couch Beds Lounge Chair W/Pillow (Burgundy),” and is 82.99 USD.

>>11917036
The Eames lounge chair is massively overrated. It's beautiful, but that's about it. If you're any taller than 5'10, it offers *no* head support (the newer 'tall' version is better, but it also looks a bit misshapen). The reclining angle is OK, but for extended periods of sitting it doesn't offer much variation. On the whole the chair is slightly more comfortable than an IKEA Poang, except for 40 times the price.

There are better chairs out there. Ekornes Stressles chairs are terrific. For a while Natuzzi was making a chair called the 'Revive' that was tremendously good (though the recline/tilt mechanism was prone to failure). Even the Baughman 74 is more comfortable than the Eames.

Add to that the fact that the Eames lounge chair was originally supposed to be an inexpensive throwabout chair (that's why they were using bent plywood in the first place!) for the common man, but because Herman Miller owns the design patent on it in the US they keep the price ridiculously inflated.

There are better chairs out there for less money, and those better chairs will make you look less like a sheep who does nothing but follow 5-year-old pinterest design boards.

>This is the dream.
More like a nightmare. Imagine constantly looking back to see if there's someone possibly coming for you from those spooky ass woods.

>>11916340
No but I also don't like to read at home since I feel like I can't concentrate on anything here, I prefer to go to my uni's library, on the third floor near the back stairwell that no one ever uses there's a really plush well worn in chair and side table that I like to sit at, especially in the evenings or overnight when everyone's already gone home

>>11918030
It’s comfy for fat cats too.

The odds of a serial killer breaking into my secluded wooded abode and serial killing me are low enough that I don’t think I’d even give it a thought with that level of comfort.

Yes, because we all have an unlimited disposable income.

>>11916340

>>11923321
my kitchen table is quite comfy and relaxing, plus, that's where the coffee, tea, and snacks are located.

oh shit you finally got a fucking shelf

I work on a long distance, commercial boat. This is the bookshelf next to my bunk. Doesn't get comfier than reading in bed here with the sound of the engines and the rise and fall of the swells. And no internet when far from land.

Mines not too comfy, rooms a lil messy and not all my books are on display yet (I need one of those book holder-L shaped things) but I like it. Got some model planes and family photos which are comfy, and a nice sturdy chair I can sit in.

>>11921461
I really like your book collection, and I’m jealous of your comfy corner. Only thing that would add to it would be like a window with a nice view (I.e a beach) but other than that, you got a really comfy reading area anon.

Hows that Crusades book

>>11924430
Were you banned from playing outside as a kid or something?

>>11916340
I want to live in a wizard tower with a big wizard library

>>11924735
Yep, how’d ya know?

>>11924738
The Crusades By Thomas Asbridge? It’s pretty good. It’s a bit different from other history books I’ve read in that it flows like an action-adventure book. It focuses more on differing perspectives and causation and effect to events, and feels partly like a character study of many specific individuals. Also it has really nice prose in that it flows well. I would recommend it if you like that type of thing (I do).

Currently giving it a break however, as I picked up (pic related) for an extremely cheap price.

I almost exclusively read outside in the afternoon. A nice benefit of being a student

>>11924776
Switches on the power points and that shitty Jasper Jones novel no one outside of this country would have read

>>11924837
i would like to do this but i live in scotland and it rains constantly

>>11924840
Eh, I’ve read worse but yeah it is pretty bad. Australia has some pretty good authors though. I’ve been meaning to pick up ‘Voss’ but it’s pretty expensive, and I’m just a poor student.

>>11924851
>>11924837
I’d like to try reading on the beach sometime, but I’m self-admittedly a bit neurotic about getting sand on my books, or damaging them.

>>11922026
Firstly, the furnishings in some of those pictures are not even bad, some are even modern/‘expensive’. Where do you read, atop an ivory throne?

>>11924373

>>11924635
Thanks

I actually do have a nice view, it's just not in frame of the photo.

>>11924482
ye, I've had it for 2 years now.

>>11924500
Pretty comfy. How long time do you spend on the boat? How much books do you bring?

>>11925268
Four to six weeks is typical, and I might bring as many books. I've been reading a lot of heavy history stuff at home so on the boat it's usually light escapist fiction. Just started using a Kindle so I don't have to fly to the boat with a huge stack of books, and can download more if I run out and have internet. Most boats I work on have little DVD and book libraries (though the books usually suck).

>>11925489

How do you get one of these jobs? I work in tech and I'm sick of it and would like to live the Marlow lifestyle for a little while.

>>11924430
It does sound great, what are you on about?
There is little comfier than putting on a big soft sweater and sitting out in the crisp air of a cool Fall day to read.

>>11924751
Much favorite part of fantasy video games is seeing the designs of wizard libraries.

>>11924857
Reading on the beach is amazing. Just bring a cheap paperback or a nice bag that you can close with your book/s inside. Sand isn’t likely to get in them so long as you don’t have little kids around, and you can sit far enough from the water that water damage is a nonissue.
In short, do it.

>>11925582
Seconding this. I’m in IT and it pays the bills, but I’m thinking about joining the navy just to get away from my current sedentary day-to-day

>>11919440
>>11916391
I live in the woods and am sick of it here. There aren't jobs or anything.

I would be willing to live in the middle of the ghetto if I could obtain an appartment. How much does it cost a month? Even in ghettos, I don't see places in cities cheaper than $500 a month. That's like $6000 a year.

I could probably scrounge up $150 a month. I know section 8 and people eligible for low income housing pay no more than $50 a month. There has to be some free market alternatives. They're not advertised on Craigslist or Zillow.
How are you people getting cheap appartments in the middle of the ghetto?

>>11924373

Man, that first season was some of the best television ever made.

Relatively comfy here. Sometimes I read by the fireplace in another room, which is top-tier comfy when it's a cold and rainy day.

Though to be quite honest I probably would prefer a cabin in the woods like >>11916945 .

When I lost my job and had to move into my brother's place, it was heaven on earth. He has an actual library and a huge, comfy reclining rocker lounge chair with fixed table and overhead light. I feel asleep reading in that thing so many times.

>>11926360
I've been equally willing to work hard my entire life and am only just now being paid what is considered a starting salary for a profession. It's not even a very fancy profession. So I think there is more to it than will to work hard, and it's worth noting that in the time people are waiting for their Cheryl Brooks gets recognized by Dagny Taggart moment, or whatever, many die, or suffer catastrophe that destroys their ability to work.

>>11926533
30 isn't really that far-flung of an age to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" as it were, and start making a decent living.
People who get high paying jobs in their early 20s do so because of connections on top of being willing to put in the effort.
Opportunity absolutely plays into it, but anyone can start from nothing and make their way to a decent living.

>>11926569
That's fine for most people, but as for me, everything I ever wanted for myself died by the time I was 18. I only continue living because I am forbidden to die by someone to whom I have obligations.

>>11926569
Connections matter less, believe it or not. And that’s wisdom my friend.

Being able to work well is the most important thing.

I make $95K a year at my job. But congratulations on thinking that somehow the free market is making your life better just because you have a savings plan that means you won't starve for the first 10-15 years after retirement. Definitely you are at the pinnacle.

I haven’t even reached the pinnacle yet, kid. Don’t think I’ll stop at $95 K either

I see three landmark editions, based anon

>>11927223
I have all of them actually. They are terrific, and the translations they're commissioning are getting better as well - I was actually pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed their translation of Caesar. I'm very much looking forward to Xenophon's Anabasis, which I hear they're working on and I think is begging for the Landmark treatment.

Honestly, they should have found a way to include these essays in the landmark volume itself, or just published a 2-volume edition.

My apartment is practically a comfy nook to read in.

It's 28m2. Kitchen, double bed, soda, bookshelf, desk.

Not some junkie apartment, I have rugs and pictures on the wall etc. but no TV and it's basically only suitable for reading, shitposting or meditation.

>>11927916
How much does it cost a month?

>>11927699

>>11927919
800€

Not pictured: PC, an actual bookshelf, bed, bathroom.

plebs

>>11927699

I like it. It's hard to be minimalist when I do art and stuff, though. Bothers me. Sometimes.

>>11924353
great book

>>11927951
I don't see how people can afford rent at that rate. Are you on welfare or come from a wealthy family ?

>>11928130
you just work a job. I pay 820 euros on a net salary of 2000 each month which is kind of a normal income and its fine.

I exclusively read on this corner of my bed by the window

>>11927872
That is bullshit, it should have been included.

>>11928156
That's not worth it. Why don't you just live at home?

>>11928171
idk i can afford rent, food, beer, and still have money to save, so why would I lower my independence to live at home to chase some almighty zeros in my bank account.

>>11928171
because I'm 27 years old.
I don't make a lot of money either, but my hobbies are cheap so it works out.

I could get a similiar sized apartment for much cheaper but I like the location

>>11928218
So you can save up for a downpayment that will build equity. You should have independence still.
>>11928223
Live with your parents.

>>11916340
I wouldn't mind reading here.

>>11928229
>So you can save up for a downpayment that will build equity.
This is UK/America talk. In my country I don't have to drop 40k just to have the right to get a loan for a home. I can get a mortgage easily when I get a higher salary and a more stable relationship later.

>>11928168
I agree anon, but what are you going to do? Polybius and Xenophon's Anabasis are in the pipeline; I'm relatively sure they won't do the supplemental online essays for Xenophon - should be more than enough room for ancillary material in the volume itself there - but we'll have to see what they do with Polybius.

>>11928243
We’re reaching levels of comfy that shouldn’t even be possible

>>11928229
why would I when I can afford to live on my own?

>>11927699
how much is rent? i kind of wanna go to germany and rent a super cheap flat

>>11919492

>>11928267
Because you're throwing money away to pay off someone else's mortgage instead of your own. It's much better to be used to service your own debt, and if that means you live with your parents for another year, saving 90% of your paycheck then so be it. You'll be better off in the long-run

No I have no space. Looking for good desks and shelves and other furniture suggestions though so feel free to link some stuff on Amazon. Same goes for lighting and other things.

I see no issue

>>11922589

>>11930338
It is what it is. Traveling is a hassle and I've never even smoked so much as a cigarette. Only wine, beer, and booze.

>isn't minimalist

Stop embarassing yourself, OP.

>>11916574
>he thinks living in crime shithole is /lit/ and cool and bohemian
These leftist fantasies are beyond cringe. I don't know how the left managed to indocrinate people into thinking being 'priviliged' is bad and the "suffering under capitalism life" is the best life. What are you, a christian? Do you believe in salvation through suffering? Because you're as pathetic. The best writers and artists and scientists weren't poor niggers, they were sons of wealthy people who'd sustain their idle life in pursuit of the arts and science. The history of humanity (nature) is the history of wealthy, intelligent people making progress. The rest just takes up space. Marx wasn't a poor nigger. Lenin wasn't a poor nigger. Engels definitely wasn't a poor nigger. Also, most of the poor in the US are poor because they're low IQ anyway, there's nothing much you can do, it isn't capitalism's fault.

>>11930631
>I remember my freshman year of undergrad too

Marx was a kike who lived on the charity of others, you fucking moron.

>>11930701
Exactly, not a poor nigger. He had a decent middle class family but he was a lazy faggot who didn't work and lived on Engels neetbux. You seem to imply that i'm defending Marx or whatever but that's precisely the opposite.

>>11930631
No, my friends, I go (always, other things being equal) for the man that inherits family traditions and the cumulative humanities of at least four or five generations. Above all things, as a child he should have tumbled about in a library. All men are afraid of books that have not handled them from infancy. Do you suppose our dear Professor over there ever read "Poli Synopsis," or consulted "Castelli Lexicon," while he was growing up to their stature? Not he; but virtue passed through the hem of their parchment and leather garments whenever he touched them, as the precious drugs sweated through the bat's handle in the Arabian story. I tell you he is at home wherever he smells the invigorating fragrance of Russia leather. No self-made man feels so. One may, it is true, have all the antecedents I have spoken of, and yet be a boor or a shabby fellow. One may have none of them, and yet be fit for councils and courts. Then let them change places. Our social arrangement has this great beauty, that its strata shift up and down as they change specific gravity, without being clogged by layers of prescription. But I still insist on my democratic liberty of choice, and I go for the man with the gallery of family portraits against the one with the twenty-five-cent daguerreotype, unless I find out that the last is the better of the two.

Somehow this alone in the woods thing creeps me out. Guess I need to relocate my dream to the sea or countryside.

Probably some spoiled brat from MASS or something.

>>11916913
those chairs are NOT comfortable in my experience. I have one in my room and never sit in it. it has two modes: completely upright or completely reclined. you always feel off balance.

>>11918030
Fucking nice

Mountainous woods and cliffs by the sea are the most /lit/ environments for your comfy cut-off cabin

Very distracting

>>11931853
Thanks! I moved in there not too long ago and the decision between me and my housemate to have a comfy reading room was unanimous. It’s seen a good amount of use so far.

You can buy bedframes for like $40
Come on dude.

>>11925650
>$500 a month
Get a job, you fucking loser. $500 a month for city living is fucking PHENOMENAL.

>>11925650
>I could probably scrounge up $150 a month.
Anon, nobody is that unemployable.

>>11932901
You’d need a box spring first pleb.

>being this much of a plebeian when it comes to beds

>>11916574
I imgain you as a middle class kid. Too poor to identify with rich people so you instead have this weird fetish for the life of the poor, yet you have no experience with true poverty. I dont have a word to call you, but you resemble a bourgeois

>>11922397
>Classic 45 degree attic room
Fucking hell imagine not knowing the word "garret" and actually typing out "classic forty-five degree attic room".
That's German levels of autism.

>>11923058
The odds considerably increase if your house is see-through.

It goes from like one in a million to one in twenty or something I think. Look it up

>>11932912
That's part of the bedframe you fool.

>>11932918
danish, actually

germans have no class

>>11932926
? No, a bed frame is a metal holder for the box spring and mattress.

No one calls the box spring part of the ‘bed frame’. What the actual fuck

>>11932901
I dont like bedframes though. I like to read on the mattress and I like to stack pillows at various angles to get different reading positions with my feet on the ground. If I have a frame I either have to be reclined along the bed, or have my feet dangling over and I don't like that.

>>11932928
Ah well congratulations on not being German. That's a praiseworthy achievement.

>>11932934
Where do you live where this is standard?

>>11932954
thank you for teaching me a new word

>>11932956
I live on Wikipedia

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bed_frame

>>11932978
for what it's worth, he did say $40 bed frame which is suspiciously identical to the price of the cheapest ikea bed frame, and for that you just put a cheap mattress like >>11927699 has on some wooden slates on the frame.

t.guy who owns the cheapest ikea bed setup

>>11932962

>>11932978
I've never seen a bedframe not part of the "box shit" or whatever it was you called it.

>>11933029

>>11933040
So what the hell is this thing?

>>11933043
bedframe

>>11933046
So. You would put a mattress on this. Correct?

>>11933052
yeah

>>11933054
Which would eliminate the need for the box you described earlier. Right?

>>11933056
i'm a different guy

I don't know what you mean by "box"

I'm assuming a box mattress? You put a box mattress on top of a bedframe.

>>11933074
He said you need a box spring first >>11932912

>>11933084
yeah, that's true

>>11933095
HOW?

>>11933105
fuck it, just sleep on the floor like they do in japan

>>11933105
Why wouldn’t you?

The type of frame where you don’t need a box spring is just very rare. Typically, a frame is just a metal rack or some wooden bars for you to put a box spring on.

I honestly don’t know what world you’re living in

>>11933111
I live in the UK.
I've been searching beds on many different sites since we began talking and almost all of them are fit for a mattress with no "spring box".

>>11933122
Well there you go. The world isn’t some island off the west coast of mainland Europe, fuckstick

>he doesn't do his reading in a Bruno Mathsson chair
C'mon, anon!

>>11933247
swedish design has always been for the gays. danish modern era design is where it is at

>>11933154
Eat shit. Retard.

>>11933259
Swedish and danish design are basically from the same school, anon. Don't go tribal on me.

I'm not sure about norwegian design though; I seem to never hear anything from them

>>11933302
danish design is much more masculine

no such thing as norwegian design

>>11916391
Meanwhile in reality the neighborhoods with the most crime are no longer places with lots of large run down buildings like 70's Bronx but rather some far less exciting residential area in a small to mid sized American city.

>>11933309
Are you a dane or something? Because this really reads like a dane who wants to stick it to the swedes.

>>11933318
nej-I mean, no.

it's just that swedes suck cock

>>11932921
Only in movies, anon

>>11916913
Certainly a nice view and a nice room - minus the retarded looking green/purple rug on the floor - but comfy isn't the word I use. Comfy always brings to mind warmth and maybe a more closed space. This is too open and airy, and lacks comfiness.

>>11930924
Word salad from the mouth of a privileged incel.
