LumioMax Gunawan

The name Lumio is inspired by the idea of an illuminated book. The light turns on when you open the cover and turns off when it’s closed. Lumio illuminates when you need light and stows away compactly when unused, ideal for modern living. Adjust the lamp as your lighting needs change throughout the day. Use it as a table lamp, a wall sconce, ceiling pendant, ambient lighting, outdoor lighting or come up with your own unique ways to use Lumio.

As celebration to the fact that I’ve finally moved back home, here’s a hot guy reading in bed! Because nothing is better than climbing in your bed with a book after not having it for a week.
And to the lovely submitter who asked how does one sleep in the same bed if he’s reading: I’ve always figured you were supposed to just read your own book until you both passed out! Though I’m not exactly the best one to ask; I tend to be the guy reading like that in the first place while people wait up for me.
thanks, Margot!

I don’t need to be protected from a book. Do you?
I’ve started a pet project of sorts (tentatively) called DON’T LIMIT MY LIT. In a nutshell, it’s about book banning. I’m going to keep it going for at least six months— which I like because Banned Books Week will be going on right in the middle. Book banning trends and lawsuits have been flying around in my country lately, so I’ve suddenly taken an interest in learning as much as I can about the big picture of book burning banning on an international scale, away from the overall theme of fuckyeahreading, my tumblr book baby (which by the way I seriously still can’t believe has found itself 7,497 followers).
If you’re interested in book banning or what I’ll find, such as
news
trivia
history
quotes from banned books
or quotes about censorship and ban culture—
good or bad, from Malaysia and all around the world, then COME keep me company and follow the Tumblr. If you’re not around these here parts very often, then why not Like its Facebook page?
Reblogs, likes, submissions, even applications for co-admins are all welcome to the party.

get out of there cat.  you are not a book. you do not need to be alphabetized.  you cannot even read.

"Books help to form us. If you cut me open, you will find volume after volume, page after page, the contents of every one I have ever read, somehow transmuted and transformed into me. Alice in Wonderland. the Magic Faraway Tree. The Hound of the Baskervilles. The Book of Job. Bleak House. Wuthering Heights. The Complete Poems of W.H. Auden. The Tale of Mr Toad. Howard’s End. What a strange person I must be. But if the books I have read have helped to form me, then probably nobody else who ever lived has read exactly the same books, all the same books and only the same books as me. So just as my genes and the soul within me make me uniquely me, so I am the unique sum of the books I have read. I am my literary DNA."
