In the family room. We have a leather sectional that both end seats have the recliner. I sit there and the 2 Wheaten's fight over who gets to lie next to me and get petted while I read-LOL.
I ADORE Wheatens. So soft and furry... and mischevious (at least the one I knew). As much as I love my cat I would dearly love to have a dog as well. The dog I had when I got Buster (the cat) had to be put down almost 9 years ago. My husband says NO DOGS, and the cat votes with him, so what's a girl to do? Other than sit here with a dog-sized hole in my heart?  |

Since I already have two dogs, I decided not to get another one (even though I really, really wanted an Australian Shepard). Then one day the sweetiest dog just showed up (Australian Sheppard even)... we tried to find its owner with no luck (I think it was a drop-off) and it is still here. I think I now have 3 dogs. |

If a dog finds me you can bet Buster will chase him off. The phrase "Does not play well with others" was written about him. He loves all people and will meet you at the door when you come home (also plays fetch... maybe I DO have a dog) but other 4 legged creatures are NOT welcome in his house. He has no sense of humor about that at all. |

Any animal along side while I read is the definition of bliss to me. I love cats, but am deathly allergic to them. The neighbors cat adopted me (never allowed inside our house). So much so, that the people across the street thought I had a new pet-LOL. He was the love of my life. But, his owners didn't take care to keep him inside at night, and we think the coyotes got him  So who knows, perhaps a neighbors dog will drop by now and then to give you company. We had one of those when we were between dogs and it was a joyful addition to the day when she stopped by to say hi. |

My cat is strictly an indoor cat, the closest he gets to being outside is lounging in the window cussing at the birds. I'll hope for a neighbor dog adoption, that would be wonderful! I'd love to have a dog to play with while I sit on another GREAT READING CHAIR (trying to stay on topic just a tad...), the glider on my deck. I don't sit out there much right now, November in Minnesota is not the best deck-sitting weather, but come Spring you'll have to use dynamite to get me out of the glider!  |

I generally like to just relax in my bed with my Kindle. I have a back problem which makes it hurt to slouch forward, so even having my head down for a period of time can make me sore. So I lie on my back or side, with my Kindle either on my stomach or resting on the fuzzy snail and read my heart out. |

Marci, we have two parrots. Goober is an orange-winged Amazon and he's 21. Ruthie is a Congo African Grey and she's 19. There's a nice sized cage next to the gym. They are out of the cage all day on either the gym or the cage. They have lots of toys on top of the cage. We like having them in the livingroom with us where the action is and they are part of the family.
Thanks for sharing the above info, Suzanne. I bet they both look gorgeous and are very smart. I'm glad you love them so much and take good care of them. Cheers, Marci |

That sounds like the chair I have my eye on too. It just screams to me, "Come and get comfy with a good book". It is also much too large for my house. |

Well, the most comfortable chairs in our house are our "his & hers" La-Z-Boy recliners. I have to confess, though that the two places I find best (which is not necessarily the most comfortable) for reading are at the kitchen table and in one of our chairs on the deck. The recliner is *too* comfortable, and after a while I can't read much anymore because I start to get drowsy. But sitting at the kitchen table, the chair and table height are comfortable to sit at for extended periods, but not so much that it makes me want to snooze.
Oh, and there's still room on my lap for one of our Siberian cats to curl up if they're so inclined. ;-)

LOL, my girlfriend and I were out shopping for a couch for her....I immediately jumped on it and she and I both said at the same time, "It spins!" I did see a smaller version of it at Bob's Furniture...don't know if you have one near you but it'll still be too big. I love it because of all the pillows and it's just so darn comfortable :-) |

I saw it in a magazine and it looked perfect for reading, then I saw one in person. I did get right in it and took it for a spin. Sadly for the both of us, it just does not fit! If I can figure out how to put a picture in the body of a post I will let everyone else see what we are raving about. Wouldn't it be funny if we are both talking about different chairs?  I got it!  |

I either read on the sofa with sun coming in the window,
in backyard on a chair with cusion, getting sun, or
in my sleep number bed...love it...on a 35, nice and squishy, and read on my side.

At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.

Okay - I will resist the urge to buy a kindle chair, even though i have an empty space in my bedroom and the boy rarely uses his recliner - it could stand to be replaced.
The love seat i currently use for DTB will have to be enough, right???
LOL at M-O-O-N

That Large Swivel Chair must be available from different sources at different price points. I copied the picture from Macy's because that was the first picture I found. I have seen a similar chair in high end magazines and the one I test drove was in a lower end furniture store. I can just see myself in that chair with a grandchild tucked under each arm reading Fudge or Ramona or David Gets in Trouble and laughing our heads off. |

The one from Room and Board is $999. The one from Macy's is on sale right now for the same price. |
