I loved the original sketch of this but asked the artist to make the reader "more naked". In my mind, she is reading Marian Engel's Bear. Done at Incendiary Tattoos
Sylvia Shaw Judson (American, 1897-1978)
The Reader, 1946/1961
(Variant title: Boy Reading, source: “For Gardens and Other Places; The Sculpture of Sylvia Shaw Judson,” by Sylvia Shaw Judson)
Bronze
24 ½ x 17 ½ x 18 in.
Gift of the Marjorie and Richard Ettlinger and Laurie and Alan Reinstien families in memory of Viola and Lawrence Stein and Ruth and Bernard Nath
Sylvia Shaw Judson grew up in Lake Forest and was the daughter of well-known architect Howard Van Doren Shaw and the poet Frances (Wells) Shaw. Judson studied at The School of the Art Institute in Chicago on and off between 1915 and 1918 and later in Paris at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. Her works have been exhibited in museums, at Chicago’s Century of Progress Exposition (1933), and at the New York World’s Fair (1939). Shaw’s work can be found in the collection of the White House, in the offices of the President of the Philippines, and at the Massachusetts State House.
Sylvia Shaw Judson received much posthumous attention in the late 1990s when her Bird Girl sculpture (1938) appeared on the cover of the book “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” by John Berendt. The sculpture also appeared in the opening scene of the movie with the same title.
The Reader is the first sculpture patrons approach when entering the Library. It is one of the most familiar and loved works of art in the Library, and a magnet to the younger set of library users.

Protótipo ou "mocape" do que poderia ter dido o eReder GlassBook Reader. Só que não passou de apenas um software ou aplicativo para a leitura de livros eletrônicos que lia arquivos PDF.
About 11:15 am, Charlotte Square, Edinburgh. I wanted to get a shot at the Book Festival, which I always associate with the readers in this relaxed space between all the marquees and walkways. The man in the foreground gave his permission (I didn't ask all the people in the background). That's Prince Albert on the horse, and the dome of West Register House in the background.

Exmouth Market, London, 7:30 am. I asked his permission, and he noted that not many people read the paper version of newspapers these days. He was reading the Sunday Times, a special issue on the referendum.

Dublin's sixth annual Readers' Day took place in the Civic Offices on 6th October. The event brings readers and writers together. Over 200 readers from book clubs attached to Dublin City Libraries attended, and they discussed a range of issues with well-known writers. Among them was Louis de Bernières, the acclaimed author of 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin'. He spoke about the impact writing the book has had on his life. Carlo Gebler, Adrienne Dines, Gerald Dawe and Ailbhe Smith asked whether female authors write too many dull novels about domestic life. A fascinating discussion followed.
According to Divisional Librarian Jane Alger, "supporting book clubs is an important activity of Dublin City Libraries. Nearly 100 book clubs are currently supported through provision of books, information about new publications and reading-related events such as author visits. The main benefit is to introduce readers to books they would not normally read and enable discussion on the various topics in a social environment".

Lado a lado com o Kindle Touch. Mesmo tamanho e espessura, mas o Kindle é pouca coisa mais pesado.
Readers Digest for the month I was born. Several years ago, I found it in a little book shop my Aunt Wilma had in a building that housed a flea market in York, Pennsylvania. Her little shop was called Grandma's Book Nook.
The woman in the picture is wearing what would probably have been called "pedal pushers". Its interesting that they are very popular today (I have four pairs in the same color) but today they
are known as capris.
About 2 pm, White Cross pub, Lancaster Canal. I have wanted to get a photo of the people sitting in the sun by this pub, so when I saw him on my way to work, I asked permission. I wish I had gotten closer; he is reading Die Zeit.
Thank you for participating in my project.

4:50 p.m. Williamson Park. My first shot was from the side to show she is looking (if she looks up) at a broad view over the park, the city, and the bay. But this shot conveys better the last bit of afternoon sun, on a cold day. The is reading Paul Zweig's Departures for a module on accounts of dying in literature. (I had him confused with Stefan Zweig). She said I could make up a name for her - so it's Lotte.
