B. Art of the Day: The necessary reading nook, like the kind I’d try to form for myself at bookstores like Shakespeare in Paris, or for one’s residence to shape a place to disappear within, chasing the thoughts of the author and oneself, transported to other worlds made comfortable by the hugging chair, warm blankets, and surrounded books.
