Soooooo, what's in your "reading room"?

brecklundin · 08-17-2009, 10:19 PM

Me, much to the frustration of buds who would come over for a well deserved mid-week night of drinking until our eyes bled, I used to keep copies of Byte Magazine. Now I find there are a couple photo mags but my fav is better than the old Sears Christmas catalogue...the B&H Photo Catalog...

sigh...I guess I really am getting old...hehehe...

OK, fess up...what's in your "reading room"?

I have shutterbug (although I already stopped subscription due to many Canon and Nikon than Pentax articles), Photo Techniques and your occasional Gun Digest magazine.

For me..its all about shooting whether camera or gun..lol

'VietNam' Magazine, National Geographic and all sorts of assorted classic books I rarely get around to reading.

I'm collecting The Complete Peanuts books! They come out with the 2 book box once a year and I get that sent here from Amazon US.

*looking around this place.* Where to start...

Come to think of it, which *room.*

Lots of poetry and mythology, classics, history, some sci-fi, ...no books actually of or about photography, come to think of it. (I always used to find copies of a book I'd end up giving away to students, seems I'm fresh out.

What I need is some better reading light.

OMG, your laptop's been flagged........

I usually have a variety of periodicals. Depending on the nature of the visit to the reading room I'll either get through a short article, or the entire magazine. lol

I think that it scares you because is the book that Chenney gave as a present to George W Bush when they get elected. It is the book that if you read it upside down you end up invading Afghanistan and Iraq

Cabelas catalogues (they send me like 50 billion catalogues every year!)

Close second is the Lee Valley catalogues (I signed up for those, god I love their tools!)

My wife, all four siblings-in-law and all four of our parents are tenured college professors. We don't really do magazines, we do books. By actual count on a rainy Saturday 3 years ago there were 3734 hardback books on our bookshelves - they're in every room in the house.

Next to my chair right now are

Tamron SP 70-210mm F/3.5 Model 19AH Instruction Manual
Niccolo Rising - Dorothy Dunnett
The 100 Greatest Combat Pistols - T. J. Mullin
The Power of Gold (The History of an Obsession) - Peter L. Bernstein
