As autumn weather starts to set in, it's the perfect time to curl up with a pair of slippers, a cup of tea, and - you guessed it - a good book. But reading isn't restricted to quiet nooks and crannies in the comfort of your own home; many people enjoy reading outdoors and on the go, in a coffee shop, tucked away in a library, on a bench in the park, or sprawled out on a blanket while the sun's still shining.
One public place for reading that is often overlooked, though, is the bar. It may seem counterintuitive to think it would be nice to sit in a smoky bar with your favorite paperback, but for some there's no better place. Juan Vidal, a book critic, certainly thinks as much and wrote this commentary on the art of reading in bars for NPR. Give it a look, and maybe consider bringing your current read the next time you head out for a drink at the bar.
