CC Gozo AM/FM Radio & GeoBulb® II LED Light Bulb Warm White
It would be a Sherlock Holmes collection..anywhere there is warm sun and ocean. 🙂
I would like to read “The World of the Saltmarsh” by Charles Seabrook on the Georgia coast.
I would like to read Catch 22 on the island of Pianosa.
It would be tempting to say something here about a work of great literature and intellectually stimulating surroundings, but the truth is that a fast-paced thriller or mystery, read on my screened-in porch during one of the Chicago area’s too-brief spells of fine weather, would be my perfect book experience. Either that or one of Tim Ferris’ engrossing science books that are so good (and easy-reading) that you are tempted to skip meals and stay up all night, consumed anywhere you can lug it; I just finished rereading of one of them. In either case, there just might be a beer at my elbow.
I read The Travels of Marco Polo while visiting many sites he visited hundreds of years before. That was pretty neat. But if I had to choose another I hadn’t done, I would like to read Heyerdahl’s Kon Tiki while sailing to the South Pacific.

As a mystery lover, I would have to choose the Sherlock Holmes canon of stories. The Victorian fog-covered streets of London become almost real within the stories. Of course these are best read from a Baker Street hotel.
Thanks
The Bible, In the mountains.
I have an LED flood light that draws 17 Watts, but puts out as much light as a 75-Wayy incandescent. Best of all, I shouldn’t have to drag the ladder out to replace it until 2016, or so. Nice!
LED bulbs have CFLs beat all around.

I would re-read “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” by John le Carré, in London of course.
I would love to read 100 years of soleto or “Cien anos de soledad” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Its inspirational how this writer describe a simple event and interconnet the events and time with out lost the reader. The place it will be in Seaside Park Bridgeport CT its a quiet and beutifull place.
I would read Anne’s House of Dreams in my own living room
I would read Fields of Fire by James Webb, while sitting on a beach anywhere.
I would take the time to read 1984 again, as George Orwell has been proven to be a prophet of our times. I would like to read it on a beautiful beach trying to forget how accurate he really was…

AHHHH! You are absolutely right! I guess it would help if I were looking at the right month on my calendar 🙂 I will go up and comment on the post. Thanks Again!

I think I would re-read the Lorax and sit by the ocean to think about how luck we are.
I would read Earthly Delights by Kerry Greenwood, an author recommended to me by my aunt who is a writer. The place would be along Big Creek in the Bitter Root Valley in Montana. Looking at today’s news, I need a serene place to escape to in my head.
