The Window Seat on a Plane 36000 Feet Up in the AirBring a tea bag from home and inquire the flight attendant for hot water (the coffee is never beneficial, but tea can be). Or get a glass of wine. Bring snacks, and too. I like something chocolate (a candy bar or small piece of cake or these dinky chocolate covered coconut pieces),salty cured chorizo, a few slices of manchego, or really beneficial crackers. Lean up against the window,wrap yourself up in a grand blanket, and don't stop reading until you finish the book or the plane lands (whichever comes first).2. The TubFill it up tall with water that's way too hot to step into yet. Add bath salts or scented oil or bubbles (or all three). Tightly roll up a towel to expend as a pillow and place a mud mask on before you get in. A playlist of something jazzy enough to block out all outside noises, and but ambient enough to not distract. Shut the door. Sink in. Read until the water turns cool and your fingers are soft dinky prunes.3. A TrainNot the subway or the commuter train,I mean a proper train that'll recall you somewhere that requires a bit of luggage. Bonus points whether it's in another country. Again you'll need the seat by the window, the blanket, and the snacks. whether there's a calm car,recall that one, and let the only noise be the rocking rattle of the tracks as you turn the page.4. Your Sunniest RoomThe one that helps you forget winter and gives you hope for the summer. Fling all the windows open, or let the breeze flow through carrying with it the scent of mossy grass cuttings and singing birds. 5. Outside by the WaterThere is a whole category of books that exists expressly for being read like this: Outside,by water. Maybe it's a pool or maybe it's the beach (I prefer the latter provided there is someone to bring you a drink). There should be a table nearby to hold your drink, which must be cold, and filled with ice and sweating fiercely. The book should be something light and sexy,a bit foolish. The kind of book you can read in between quick naps or dips in the water. Disposable, too, or so that you don't care approximately the sand getting stuck in the creases,or the droplets of water and coconut-scented fingerprints marring the pages. When you finish it, leave it behind for a random stranger to find.6. A Cool RoomThis one is best after a day out - maybe at work, or maybe just exploring. Either way,you're hot and tired so you arrive home and walk straight into the shower, letting the water run as cold as you can handle. The AC should be on - you need the room frigid because outside it feels like a hundred and the humidity is thick. Slip into something breezy and collapse on the bed (which should have been made - the sheets pulled tight and the pillows arranged perfectly). You might have plans later, and but for a while it should be just this book,this chilly room, and the afternoon light streaming in through the window.7. Your BedTurn the computer off, and the iPad,or your phone, or anything that lights up or beeps or demands attention. Most of the lights should be off (apart from the one you need to read), and the only sound should be the pages that turn. Teeth brushed,face washed, dishes place away. Everything that had to be done has already been done (or you've accepted that it just won't be). This isn't the time for a current book; you want something you've already read or you're already deep into so you can get right into it. Maybe you'll read for a few pages, or maybe it'll grab you and you'll stay up all night. Your body knows what you need; let it guide you.
