Because I haven't much time or mental space to blog anything more meaningful at the moment, thought I'd leave you with photos of a couple of places where some kind people set up areas where folks can sit and read without having to join any library.
Let's turn this into a mini-quiz - do you know where (in the Klang Valley) these places are?
Reading Corner 1
Clue: This is in a space dedicated to the arts.
Reading Corner 2
Clues - here's everything you need to know about foreign travel, the muffins are great and Sharanya hangs out here a lot.
If you know of any other reading spaces, or if you have set one up yourself, take a photo and I'll post it up.

1, The Transit Lounge near Aman Suria
Argh... I meant 2 instead of 1

Departure Lounge at Aman Suria. :)

is the correct answer!
perfect place to relax and read.
ok, anyone else got anymore? (preferably with a photo)
Would like to add on much more to the shelves at departure lounge...any ideas where to buy affordable travel books? TQ.
hi Chee - so very glad you dropped by here and saw your cafe. i love your place because i don't feel out of place with a book, the coffee is great as is the food (esp the pick your own breakfast) and it's just by my house. i do wish more cafes set up reading spaces like this.
if you want cheap travel books there are some wonderful ones at big bookshop warehouse sale in atria, at the moment. i like the fact that you have fiction too ...
Hi Bibliobibuli,
Your appreciation for the cafe is very very much appreciated(!) I've recently bought 3 boxes of books from the sales in Atria, but have yet to find time to wrap each and everyone up (to prevent soiling). Hope I can find the time to get to that soonest possible, or find a way to sweet talk my mum & sis to do that :) Thanks again for the recommendation. Cheers.
i need my books covering too! was thinking of getting one of my students to do it for me!
According to Eric Forbes, Kinokuniya has a free book-wrapping service for books purchased from them. And if you bring books for them to wrap, they will charge you RM1/- per book. He had some with him and they were well-wrapped.
kino only wrap their new own books and charge RM1 for that. they do it very well.
i am slowly covering my books and it people borrow them, i hand them a roll of plastic so they come back covered.
students are still the most exploitable. and actually priya k promised to come and do some for me when she isn't too busy.
btw chet - mph cover books for you in clear plastic and for free!!!!!
