Isn't it Romantic?

Reading brings couples closer together.

Here's a larger version of this illo.

Kinda reminds me of this old illo.

Here with a loaf of bread beneath a bough,
A flask of wine, a book of verse – and Thou
Beside me singing in the wilderness –
Oh, wilderness were paradise enow.

– The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
translated by Edward Fitzgerald

funny, wife and i never end up reading like that. our joints start to ache and we start blocking the other's light.

the illustration is romantic, though.

Gawd, Patricia!
Every time I convince myself that you cannot draw better than you, you do it.
This is such a great scene.
It's got EVERYTHING I want in a quasi-erotic literary scene. The plethora of reading material, useful and discarded. The token animal. The oral proximity. The side-saddleness of the whole thing is exactly right, and you, YOU, are a visual poet.

And the COFFEE!
How could I forget the coffee!
