I go to the used book store or a Goodwill, and buy old western paperbacks, or cheesy spy novels, also in paper back. I look for well worn books with pages that are made from older pulp, so that it makes no noise when I turn the page. I like reading in the stand, and I like the book to be quiet when I close it up or turn a page. I usually dont read untill I have been in the stand for a few hours because I generally just enjoy the sights and sounds, but I find that if I start to get bored, reading keeps me from getting fidgetty and moving around too much. I leave the phone in the truck becaue one of the best things about being out in the woods, is I am completley disconnected from everybody.
