So, what's the strangest place you've read a book? The reason I ask is... I've had two strange places in two days, and subsequently, a lot of people have been giving me strange looks. In my defence, I was engrossed in the world of Darkly Dreaming Dexter, and I really couldn't wait to find out what happened next. Place 1: I had tickets to the Coldplay concert last evening, and because we were in the free seating/pitch standing area, we got there relatively early, to ensure we had good places. The supporting acts were Girls Aloud and Jay-Z - neither inspired much, for I don't do pop, and I don't do rap! Now, while Girls Aloud were performing (if you can call it that), I decided to bury my nose in the book, and block the really bad music (in my opinion) out, which resulted in people giving me really bizarre looks. Coldplay, on the other hand, were fantastic entertainers, and if you ever get a chance to go to one of their gigs, do! I love Chris Martin! :)
Place 2: Today was a lovely day, and I was craving a milkshake. Now, when I want a milkshake, I WANT A MILKSHAKE! You can say I have a bit of a problem. Anyway, I had about seventy pages of Darkly Dreaming Dexter remaining, but I really wanted that milkshake. So, I walked from home to the milkshake place, and as it was a thirty-minute walk, I thought it made sense to read and walk. I could've taken the tube, but that would've taken longer than walking, and there's no direct bus route... so walking did make sense. And, as I've already mentioned, it was a lovely day.... but, people looked at me funny. I didn't get honked at, though, nor did I fall over something, so all in all, it was a good day... and, I did finish the book!
How about you? Or, are you more sensible, and less likely to walk the streets of London, with a milkshake in one hand, and a page-turner in the other?
