Love at First Site: Awesome People Reading

I’m utterly fascinated by photographs of people reading. Always have been-well, as far back as I remember. For me, life is largely about words: it’s no wonder that I love reading culture in all of its odd facets. On the flip side, I have a history of becoming temporarily addicted to a newly discovered Tumblr blog. I’ll read the entire archive in one sitting, rapturously inform my husband of this new pet favourite like the nerd-girl I am, only to forget about it for months, if not years, to come. Today, I make this pledge: the cycle stops now, with Awesome People Reading.

Go here to find out why. You can thank me later.

Lillian Gish Reads (A Romance of Happy Valley, 1919). From Awesome People Reading.

I like to see people reading, too, maedez. I am also not one to self-promote but coincidentally I have done three or four collages about reading and people bent over books. I started to do a series about how important reading is to me and I wondered if somehow I could connect my art-making and my reading life.

I don’t mind your self-promotion, especially since I do lit-based collages, too. Great minds and all that…

  You are the second person to make that request; maybe sometime soon.
