There is so much fun in opening a long wanted book after finding the only place it could be ordered and patiently waiting for it to arrive. Fun of waking up and heading for it, before everything. Fun of taking time to read knowing that it would be a long day with lots of things to do. Fun of discovery, noding at every other page - "ah, true.." - and stopping for a minute thinking all about all those association with your own work...

Of course, sometimes it's nice to start a day from the blogosphere news, hot and exicting, but somehow this couldn't beat the fun of reading a well-written book that travelled over five editions and thirty-something years.

And - in case you are curious - the book is Life between buildings by Jan Gehl. It's part of my reading about cities and thinking about life between weblogs.
