My guess is that my fellow Sunday Saloners need no encouragement to read. We've probably had our noses in our books all our lives.
The beauty of a project like the Sunday Salon is that we get to talk about what we're reading and get ideas from others in the Salon.
Perhaps our cyber reading room looks a bit like this magnificent one in the New York library:

Kerrie - What a lovely 'photo! Yes, I could probably spend months right there....
I love that beautiful library! My library has been closed for repairs for months now. At this point, I'd love any library.
I love your thoughts on what Sunday Salon is - a cyber reading room. Wonderfully put. Love this photo too. I could spent days there.

Thoughts in Progress
I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm from a rural area, but I'd prefer reading a book outside than in such a busy environment as above. :) Hey, but to each his/her own.
