Stand and decipher
This Amazon Listmania list called Books You've Got to Read Standing Up makes me feel a whole lot better about my strange infliction:
I prefer to do my reading either standing up, or lying down. Except on public transport, where I can read in any kind of position.
Reading while standing up includes walking, which can be dangerous. It's something I picked up from my father, who read while walking the dog. And that one time he came to one of my tennis matches and he having no interest in sports.
I suppose the crux of the matter is that I have forgotten how to sit down and relax at home and stay seated long enough to read. Not with the ever-looming presence of the computer in my front room.
As I glance around me on public transport, I am the only person who is reading while fully upright. (In fact I am the only person reading a book at all. Papers, magazines, yes. But no books. It's a wonder authors make a living at all.)
Do you, or do you know anyone who reads vertically?
oh, I do the same thing... i think... and i draw standing up as well...often... (though that is not very unusual, now that i think about it...)
: )
In the summer in Florida, I'll often read standing up in our pool. I also read while walking sometimes, though never on the street -- just in the halls of my dorm etc.
