Where to read for a few hours?

So I'm sure we could all come up with a fantasy place to go and read, at leisure, for a few hours? Where you didn't have to worry about the weather?

Maybe my first thought would be a library or cafe or large bookshop. But they might be a bit noisy?

The answer would be somewhere away from home.

I long for an old fashioned women's members club in London (I think there's one at the beginning of The Enchanted April) where you can sit in a big leather armchair just far enough away from other members. Discreet "servants"(!) bringing you pots of tea etc. Lovely ladies powder room to visit subsequently! Newspapers and periodicals spread on a table to read. You get the idea?

I know there are still Private Members Clubs but probably too pricey. Where's realistic?

im really keen on the idea of somewhere indoors. Doesn’t have to be London. A specific place or type of place. Either

What’s the Drive Your Plow reference? I’m sure it was a different thread where I said I’d seen the play but hadn’t completed the book.

I've not started it yet but, according to the back cover blurb, its central character is called Janina Duszejko. 😊

Ha! If I ever noticed that I’ve completely forgotten it. Blush In my mind the heroine is Kathryn Hunter …

Kathryn Hunter is always my heroine.
