Community Centre, Glenelg, Localsh, Scotland, about 3 pm, 15 April. I was taking a photo of the excellent cafe in the Community Centre (run by Kate, seen in the background). Robert was reading aloud a headline in the Guardian, so I asked if I could take his picture too.
Thanks for being part of the project. Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.
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".
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.

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.
County South, Lancaster University, about 1:00 pm. I know Ellie, and would not normally have bothered her when she was obviously busy studying in the department, an hour before the exam, but I was interested to see the traditional technique of arranging index cards to memorise authors and concepts, so I explained the project and asked permission. I'm sorry the focus is on the cards and not on her.
Thank you, Ellie, for being part of my project, and apologies for interrupting your concentration. Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.

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.

Lancaster Station, 11:10 am, the day after referendum results. I asked his permission, and he seemed a bit amused by the project, but willing..

I found this at a local antique mall and fell in love with the illustrations. Afterwards I learned that these were written by and preceded the famous Dick and Jane readers.
4:45 pm, Williamson Park, Lancaster. I saw him reading in the surprising afternoon sun, and asked his permission. The book is 'Framing Muslims', by Peter Morey and Anita Yaqin. I like the fact that from this angle the book is reflected in his sunglasses.
Many thanks for agreeing to be photographed. Other photos of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.

About 2:15, K F Oriental Supermarket, Lancaster. I asked for her permission, and said that my project on reading didn't have anyone doing stick-taking. She said she wasn't photogenic (she is, though I haven't captured that quality here) and suggested the I photograph the man behind her stocking shelves (who is someone I know). But I said he wasn't actually reading a list. I jsut took the one shot, and not a great one, but I didn't want to bother her further, because she was busy advising a regular customer about fish, while checking the shelves and keeping an eye on the till. I am pleased with the way it suggests the crowded and colourful shelves. It is the perfect place to go if you are looking for, for instance, mirin or lemon grass. They also have big bundles of fresh coriander for less than the tiny packets in the supermarkets: www.fullhousenoodlebar.co.uk/services

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.
