I should stop now as I could go on and on. I love a good read with my feet up, a cig, and a cup of tea! Smoke - I used to live in Seattle and there was a wonderful used-book store in the University District. There was a fat black cat who slept in the window and overstuffed armchairs and couches throughout the store. You could take your coffee in with you and spend all day browsing and reading if you wanted to. It was definitely one of my favourite places to go.
