Following up on my Tribe of Readers post; inspired by a round-up of people reading, depicted in art: o silêncio dos livros , via Art Sparker via Cláudia (thanks!).
Most of these aren't exactly real life, but I still like them.
Bed and Board (Domicile Conjugal, 1970), Jean-Pierre Léaud) and Claude Jade
Tomb of Eleanor of Aquitaine (and husband Henry II), 1204--Good News, indeed: we get to read when we're dead.
Lee Miller and Tanja Ramm, by Theodore Miller
Scenes From a Marriage (1973), Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson
William Shatner. OK, he's not in bed, and it seems he's studying his script so that's work, not pleasure; but anyway, he's on his back.
Me! This past winter.

The Summer Book, read with hand warmers.
I love that picture of Bill. It seems to have been taken along the same silly lines as Nabokov's car shot.
Eleanor of Aquitaine! You've probably seen "The Lion in Winter" w/ Katharine Hepburn?
(She looks like she's just fallen asleep while reading - that's a pleasant way to go.)
I have seen Lion in Winter--it's where I got half my English history!
When I look at a photo of Bill, I always ask myself, "Where was the camera?" which is surely what he asks himself... all the time.
KKPPRRRRRRFFFFGGGGHHHT!
(This is the sound a Laugh makes when it bursts into the room without knocking.)
Good thing there was nothing in my mouth to choke on at "....all the time".
