AtD -- How Will You Read It?

I find that a book of this size must be elevated from the lap with
several cushions, then one to prop it from the back.  Add a basic wooden
clothespin to clip the left side pages from fluttering (eventually the
right side pages if all goes well) and one is left to behold the book
rather than simply hold it.  Also, the hands are then free for
monk-beer, cigars (in the diminutive per preference), and fist-fulls of
dried cereal.  Thus a week is passed.  (The only trouble is climbing out
of that rig for bathroom and kitchen visits.)
