parson's pleasure - lovely spot for reading, with the soothing sound of the water going down the weir
I am a keen reader - here I'm posing with The Blackest Bird by Joel Rose, which I recently got as part of LibraryThing's early reviewer programme. Actually, I finished it a couple of days ago so need to find time to write up my review of the book.
For this image I used the wide end of the 18-55mm kit lens to include both me and the book.
About 1:00 pm, 25 July, Lancaster Bus Station. I asked for permission and he kindly agreed. It's hard to get a good shot with so much brightness and so much in the background; I chose this side and this shot just because there was so much activity behind him, which gives some sense of what it is like to try tor read in a busy place.

Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes star in The Hours director Stephen Daldry's haunting period romance tracing the complicated love affair between a German teen and a mysterious woman twice his age. Based on author Bernhard Schlink's best-selling novel of the same name, The Reader opens in post-World War II Germany, where ailing teenager Michael Berg has fallen ill with scarlet fever. Nursed back to health by Hanna, Michael eventually makes a full recovery and decides to thank his benevolent caretaker in person. Upon being reunited, Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to and the pair quickly enters into a passionate yet clandestine affair. Later, after intense readings of The Odyssey and Huck Finn, among others, Hanna vanishes without a trace, leaving Michael heartbroken and despondent. Flash-forward nearly a decade, and Michael is a law student observing Nazi war crime trials. When Hanna wanders into the courtroom and takes a seat in the defendant's chair, her past comes into focus just as Michael uncovers the secret that will have a profound impact on both of their lives.
La historia de "The reader" comienza en la Alemania después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Volviendo del colegio, el adolescente Michael Berg se siente de pronto enfermo y Hanna, una desconocida que le dobla la edad, le ayuda a llegar a su casa. Una vez recuperado de la escarlatina, Michael busca a Hanna para darle las gracias. Comienza asà un apasionado y secreto idilio entre ambos. Michael descubre que a Hanna le encanta que le lea y su relación fÃsica se hace más profunda. Hanna encuentra un inmenso placer en las lecturas que le hace Michael de fragmentos de "La Odisea," "Las Aventuras de Huckleberry Finn" y "La dama del Perrito". Sin embargo, pese a la intensidad de su relación, Hanna desaparece un dÃa misteriosamente dejando a Michael confuso y desconsolado. Ocho años más tarde, siendo estudiante de derecho, Michael asiste a los juicios por los crÃmenes nazis y se queda atónito al encontrarse de nuevo con Hanna - esta vez, como acusada en un juicio.

☞ Shot during a visit to Montpelier, Vermont, to participate in the Third Annual Worldwide Photo Walk, one of 1,000 locations around the world where photographers meet-up & shoot away, all on the same day. • Why? More info.
He (on the closest bench) is reading Sylvie Lainé, Le Pendentif.

3:50 pm, Lancaster University Library. The library is a busy place these days, and I like to look down at the courtyard where there are always people hard at work (there is also a tree, as you see). I asked this man for permission to take his photo, and he agreed, but he had a lecture at 4:00. I ran upstairs to take the picture (with more time, I might have gone up to the next level). He was reading 'Basic Econometrics', with his notes spread out around him.
Thank you for participating in my Readers project, and apologies for breaking your concentration. I hope you got to the lecture on time. Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.
Priory Hall, Lancaster, 4:00 pm. When I told him about the project and gave him my card, he said it could be a bookmark, so it is unexpectedly useful. He's reading Terry Pratchett's 'Moving Pictures' (1990).

LICA Building, Lancaster University, about 3:50 pm. I was struck by the way the bold colours of his shirt stood out against the gray-green wall. He is reading Kazuo Ishiguru's 2005 novel 'Never Let Me Go'. I asked permission and gave him my card.

When you were younger, my boy, you loved books. Any time someone was sitting, you would grab any sort of picture book you could find, climb in their lap and sit with an air of expectation. Somewhere around the time you learned to read yourself, that interest waned. Sitting still wasn't something you enjoyed and the stories just didn't seem to be interesting enough to you.
Comic books ok. Graphic novels would work if forced. Captain Underpants and The Diary of a Wimpy Kid were quick and enjoyable forays into reading for you. But any sort of in-depth story, you'd read for a few chapters and then find a different, "better", thing to do with your time.
Sometime in the middle of last fall, one of your closest school buddies couldn't stop talking about Percy Jackson. He loved those books. You reluctantly decided to give them a try.
It was the first chapter book you had read all the way through because you WANTED to. You got to the end of the first book and dove right into the second. By the end of the series, you had the saddest, mopiest face I have ever seen - you had found books you actually liked reading, but now they were over.
But you had been hooked. You finally understood that it wasn't that all books were boring, just that you didn't know what kinds of books you liked.
You are determined to make it to the 500,000 word mark for this quarter. Previous quarters, you've barely nudged the 100,000 word mark. This quarter has been different. You've suddenly become a reader again. And with two weeks left to go, you've hit the 425,000 word mark.
I could NOT be more proud of you than I am right now.
