I can see my favorite breakfast diner from my back door.  One of my favorite pasttimes is to wake up in the morning, grab something from the shelf, and wander over to sip some coffee and read for a bit.  This is one of the key reasons I keep a well-curated library rather than just a directory of PDFs.  I've also got several Bell System/Western Electric coffee mugs which I select from for the morning.  There's something satisfying and almost ritualistic about the whole affair.  You don't get that with pixels on a screen!
