LitReactor Photo Album: Show Us Your Reading Environment

Last month we asked you to share your writing environment with us. Now, we'd like to see where you read. 

Is it a comfy chair? A quiet little alcove? In a public park? At a monster truck rally? Where is it that you find the quiet and solitude you require to dig into a book?

Want to play along? In the comments section, embed a photo of your reading environment. You can't directly upload a photo to the site; it needs to be hosted elsewhere, like Flickr or Facebook (but remember, if your accounts are set to private, we won't be able to see them). 

Then tell us a little bit about it--where is it? Why did you choose it? And what does it provide to you, that no other environment can?
