Desk and coffee

Dick in your mum's pussy while she's reading me murakami

Somewhere that serves coffee in a comfy armchair with noise-cancelling headphones on

A big recliner with a floor lamp to my side. Bad weather outside. A blanket over my legs, and my dog curled up on my lap. Ready to read then.

Hammock stretched between two trees on a crisp clear Autumn day in Vermont, while wearing a Shetland wool sweater, corduroys and warm wool socks. Thermos of coffee and a nose full of crushed up OxyContin.

In April, me and three friends were camping on Culebra, Puerto Rico for 2 weeks. Had no phone reception etc. on purpose and read Anna Karenina and a lot of Lovecraft in the hammock in pic related. No clocks or anything, I think I woke up at 4 AM and started reading.

Went snorkeling with turtles in reading breaks.

Post-capitalism
Overcast to drizzle autumnal day
Home warmed by fire and wool blanket over your Eames chair
Warm beverage and good book in each hand
Soft sound of giggling from your sleepyhead girlfriends, cooking something up in the kitchen

That's not actually very comfortable isn't it now?

bless you, butterfly! The ultimate basis for the anarchist struggle should always be an autonomous life of comfort and joy among friends. here's hoping we can make it there

MORE CUMMIES

There’s two really good ones IMO:
1. Getting up very early on vacation at the beach, making coffee, and sitting on the porch reading while sun comes up.
2. Reading late at night, in the fall/winter, next to the fireplace.

Both are really fantastic

when I do reading of good book I walk into mountain forest and read under tree by stream with the endemic birds

the only way i can understand the $4000 chair is if its really a chair thats worth 100 but its marketed as a high class expensive one

Imagine needing a crutch for your brain

Cold winter night inside your grandma's house in the big chair that grandpa used to sit in. It is snowing outside and you can see the flakes individually as they fall.

>>13995990
Not reading

I read in my closet, it's very comfy

>>14000191
>$4000 chair
Heheh. As if there’s a chair that’s actually worth $4000

>>14000633

Imagine depriving yourself of life’s greatest joy: a morning cup of coffee outside.

I bet you angle the cover so everyone can see what you're reading as well. You fucking suck.

>>14001257
A chair of american alligator leather, built from the ground up by master craftsmen, only using ebony wood for the frame and legs, and platinum for the metals.

Easily worth over $4000, accounting solely for freelance labor and logistics (both collection and transport of materials).

>>13995990
honestly I won't be satisfied until i get to read Alistair Reynolds floating in zero G

>>14001404
Leather, metal, labor. It needn’t cost anymore than that

>>14001379
I actually go great pains to hide what I'm reading, even going so far as to break a book's spine and awkwardly putting my hand over the edge to make sure no one can make out what's on the cover.

>>13997791
That sounds really comfy desu

>>14001498
>I actually go great pains to hide what I'm reading
I doubt this, because you would just read in private instead. Perhaps you enjoy reading in public and hiding what you are reading in an attempt to draw even more attention to yourself. You're like a fucking woman. Disgraceful.

Nothing happens without logistics. The economy exists around logistics, though economic theorists might gloss over the importance of it or tack on a reductive name. The trouble of collecting the materials and transporting it is the basis through which all economic activity relies on. We're talking about sourcing a specific leather found in the Gulf of Mexico, a metal mostly mined in South Africa, and the flesh of a tree grown in India.

The convenience of the global market has completely blinded you to just how massive of an undertaking it is to move these materials such gargantuan distances. Indeed the idea of currency is a societal invention intended solely to represent the effort and time expended in the logistical considerations for any given activity, and to provide a standard through which we might compel others to do the same. If you are not going to trek the entire globe on your own two feet and in a raft you made, collect and refine these materials yourself, and waste dozens of years to build a single chair, the cost to compel others to undertake these tasks for you must be considered.

Aside from your crude overlooking of the indisputable cornerstone of society, these materials all told are easily worth more than $20,000 for their difficulty in sourcing and refining. The problem you run into is the fact that you're too used to a world where a bureacracy exists to sweep the hard bits under the rug. You cannot throw out the standardizations of the bureacracy while still hoping to keep it around. We need norms and standards to work with each other, and we must work with each other to accomplish ridiculous things.

No one needs a specific leather from Africa for a chair in North America. All a chair needs are the materials, craftsmanship and time and anyone of us could be sitting in an Eames chair.

My sofa. I'm going to buy a green banker's lamp because it's quite dark.

Any time spent seeking comfort is time spent not reading

>>13995990
I sit at my desk with a cup of coffee, generally, or if it's in the evening with a cup of what we call "barszcz czerwony". Lately I've been cheap and haven't purchased physical copies, but I always like to keep some paper close by to write down notes or page numbers for later reference. Most of my physical copy of books also contain a list of page numbers with quote attributions. Find this always makes optimal comfy

>No one needs
Firstly, these specific materials have specific structural and durability properties that are desirable and utilitarian for the construction of a chair. A chair made out of these materials will last longer than one made out of horse leather, oak and steel.

Secondly, "need" was never part of the equation. You declared that there was an impossibility for a chair to have a raw value of $4000. I have proceeded to prove you wrong beyond any shadow if a doubt. You refuse to accept your grasp of value and economy is childlile at best.

Thirdly, despite you selecting a new goal with the perception that it is a grand trump card, your naïvety has backed you into a corner. With my final post I will meet your retarded nonsense with the retarded nonsense it deserves:

No one "needs" a chair of these materials, why? Because no one will die without it? Your assumption of that is wrong. If I do not have this chair, my misery will amplify geometrically every second. Eventually I will become so miserable without this chair that I will kill myself. My life depends on having this chair of platinum, alligator skin and ebony. In the truest sense of the word, I NEED this chair. Now fuck off.

Alright, bitch.

It's fall. Fog rolls through the mountain leaves spiked throughout red yellow and orange. Your cabin falls hums and silence and you recline in your fucking fuzzy ass bathrobe, leather chair, the natural sunlight filtering through your windows as you take a sip from your Hot Beverage of Choice and you dive into whatever book and ink that makes you horniest you dirty word slut. You filthy boy. You dirty cummy man
