Filipino Friday 3: Reading Habits and Book Formats

Image
Reading Habits and Book Formats . Where and how do you read? Can you read anywhere and everywhere, or do you need a certain place/mood/state of mind to get reading? Do you read more in the morning or at night or any minute that you can? Where and how do you usually read? Are you exclusively for print, or do you go for ebooks more than print? Have you ever tried audiobooks? I am old school.  Even as most books now have digital versions, I still prefer the physical, ink-on-paper variety.  I like holding a real book, flipping the pages and being able to see my progress based on the thickness of read/unread pages.  Somehow, I feel more engaged and focused reading a physical book vs. from a gadget.

Listography

Image
I found this journal while looking through the notebooks section at Fully-Booked.  (Confession: I love notebooks.  I like looking at designs, feeling the paper and the unlimited possibilities of what they could be filled with.) Back to the journal, it's called My Future Listography.  There's a list topic that you can fill in on every page.  The topics are interesting, fun and thought-provoking.  I like making lists so I was immediately drawn to this format.  They come with cute artwork, too.  Really nice! Here are a few pages I snapped with my camera phone (low-res). I, however, did not buy it.  I thought it might be a good exercise to think of my own lists and create my own artwork to go with it.  Work in progress. Here's Listography on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/My-Future-Listography-Hope-Lists/dp/0811878368/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b

No visit to Beijing is complete without seeing the Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City/Palace Museum.  It was our first stop on Day 1 of the tour.  Unfortunately, we were not able to enter the square because it was cordoned off for an official event.  We just took photos from afar, then proceeded to the Forbidden City. Tiananmen Square Tiananmen Square is a large city square in the center of Beijing, China, named after the Tiananmen gate (Gate of Heavenly Peace) located to its North, separating it from the Forbidden City. Tiananmen Square is the fourth largest city square in the world (440,000 m2). It has great cultural significance as it was the site of several important events in Chinese history. ( From Wikipedia ) Fobidden City/Palace Museum The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty. It is located in the center of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost 500 years, ...
