Earlier this year I read all of Dave Eggers’ The Circle and Lily King’s Euphoria with a baby asleep on my shoulder, plus portions of other books as well.
With a Kindle, I can hold the device with my left hand and turn pages by a quick swipe of my thumb, allowing my right arm to stay immobile. I’m generally ambivalent about reading on a Kindle, but this device does make reading while my shoulder is occupied somewhat easier. And like all prime real estate, my right shoulder tends to find itself booked up – sometimes for four hours a day or more. My left shoulder, on the other hand, is an adequate substitute in a pinch – think of it as a Holiday Inn Express while my right shoulder is that hotel in Dubai where all the walls are aquariums. It’s not something I’ve cultivated it’s just one hell of a comfortable shoulder.
One tidbit you might not know about me is that my right shoulder has earned dozens of five-star ratings on AirBnB among the under-two set.
