What do you read before bed these days? For me, it's been The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell. Supremely comfy. Makes me fantasize about simpler times when a few dozen men can change the course of history.

Nothing, but I only ever liked to read works of fiction in bed before going to sleep, whereas I prefer to meditate on works of nonfiction in a seated, or standing, position after reading them.

Lying and sitting for fiction, sitting and standing for nonfiction.

I'm reading Rayuela (Hopscotch), ultra comfy. I start feeling like Oliveira in my Paris apartment.

Upon receiving a surge of inspiration from the pneumatic waterfall, the rich water of fiction streams along the Mindring, colourizing it, whilst that of nonfiction trickles deeper through it, comprehending it.
