goldilocks

transported from my homeground

"So, this is my question to you–are you a Goldilocks kind of reader? Do you need the light just right, the background noise just so loud but not too loud, the chair just right, the distractions at a minimum?

Or can you open a book at any time and dip right in, whether it’s for twenty seconds, while waiting for the kettle to boil, or indefinitely, like while waiting interminably at the hospital–as long as the book is open in front of your nose, you’re happy to read?"

i recall that a colleague once commented that reading is like sex. you either see it as something to do with passion or something that should be done as an obligation. ^_^

my answer would be: it is relative to 1) how much i like the book and 2) how badly i need to read the book (or any reading matter).

to number one, i'd say i'm pretty much amenable to any condition as long as there is light; and that i will not risk myself to early demise being run down by speeding vehicles.

to the second, i'd say i am very much the pampered goldilocks, i need to have a very comfortable chair (preferably bed), the right lighting, background noise preferably minimum to none (so i put on ear phones or read when everybody is sleeping), proper ventilation and proper mindset lol

though everything blows when i'm already cramming. Happy BTT!
