I like to read in a bed, And on a beach. I like to read On a lumpy sofa, And in a bus, Whilst eating a peach!

I like to read on a fence, And in a cave. I like to read In a sail boat, And in the Sears Tower! See the lake's wave, wave, wave!

Where do you (usually) read?

Do you have a favourite spot, or maybe two?

Now, I know we are all bibliophiles, and that we will read absolutely anywhere, but if you are anything like me, then you certainly have favourite places to curl up with a book.

Mine are very similar - my bed, and the bed in my library. It’s technically a spare bedroom, but it has all of my books lining it’s walls, so we call it The Library.

So, let me know yours! I’ll create a masterpost in a week or so…

For its time, Beethoven's 3rd Symphony was revolutionary. It was intended to be dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte, the great liberator of Europe. But when Napoleon crowned himself as Emperor of France, Beethoven tore up the dedication page. For the first time, a composer had written a very personal and biographical symphony. Before symphonies were simply given numbers, and were made to order by the patron of the composer for special occasions as background music for private parties and or to display the wealth of the patron and their good taste in music. This great symphony was original and complex. It opened the symphony up so it could be a psychological expression of the composer's mind.

Inspiration. If you ever have a creative idea, play with it as a child would.
