That's excellent... (that may be a reason why I use to read my books at the yard, or at the garden... so I was not sitting inside there...)

Yes simply you get an excellent relaxation during your reading, I have wishes to read in front of the beach, here very close to my hose, in fact crossing to the street hahhaaha, but I haven't the animus and the opportunity to do it, because I feel shy with the people passing near me.

Well, you can always say "Hi" to the passerby people... and keep at it...

Yes it's a wonderful idea.

Don't you?

Glad you like it.

Well, that is your own choice. (I used to be very shy... but not anymore.)

It is true that people may have complexities, but if you do to them what you'd like others to do to you, things tend to go right... (unless you happen to run into a bad criminal... in which case... you could also help him/her...)

You can observe and use your judgment... but every being is basically good, and wants to help and be helped. For some of them that "basic goodness" is very down deep... but that's another subject...

Or maybe the same, because actually "the love or reading" has to do with people, that is, writers wrote books to entertain people, to give them knowledge, to wake them up... so "to read a book" "just for oneself" maybe good for your own edification... then again, read it to help yourself and help others is quite a greater edification...

(If you want understand and predict people's actions, and know for real about Human Behaviour, I recommend you "Science of Survival" by L. Ron Hubbard...) (But that's non-fiction, by the way... although you have it in English and in Spanish... and some other 14 or 15 languages.)

Oneself can read in any place and wherever, sometimes oneself blocked our mind and we become and close mind, you know it, sometimes isn't easy to do something front to people more here where there are people who don't appreciate your work plus with people ignorant (I'm sorry it). Then you right, oneself can get or upgrade the knowledge trough of the books, and I would like to wake me up with my prefer book in a future, because, I dream with my decay with my bible in my hands, and it take god works, I know this, I need to work more hard and desire to more learning for me and my work.

Now there're much books with great threads specially I like computation and severs Administration books for my work you know, because of that way I can get more new methods and new tips for my work and my leaning it, I'm consider to get news advices trough of people like you and others ones.

Thank you.

I'm going to the beach finish this cold front, and I will take shit about the ground and I will turn over my head and my glance to the sky and I will ask something else to god, that is, it gives me more knowledge before of my oldness.

I understand, it was just a commentary, I just said to you to "enjoy", "vale" in Spain is just an "acknowledgment" (like "Sale" or "Sale y vale" in México, right?)

¿Sale?

(By the way, what I don't understand your second sentence... not sure what you are trying to say...)

At any rate, you are lucky to be living in front of the beach, at Ciudad del Carmen...
