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....
ReplyDeleteI love that beautiful library! My library has been closed for repairs for months now. At this point, I'd love any library.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
