reading house of leaves again for the first time since high school and coming to terms with the fact that the quality of my hands has deteriorated quite a bit in the last 13 years. i have been reading e-books almost exclusively for nearly a decade for this exact reason and being confronted with a physical book again, let alone one this fuckin big, is giving me some trouble. i have no idea how to hold this thing and setting it down isn't great for my neck. much to think about. also this book still absolutely fucks.

in reply to @jkap's post:
you can get knee/lap boards with things to prop them on, or you can be lazy and use a tablet stand
i have genuinely considered getting some sort of table stand for this very reason
if your arms have trouble holding up a book, it might be a good idea start doing a bit of weight training. even just with small weights or pushups. this is especially important if you are a daily computer user, as the increased bloodflow of muscle mass will do wonders in preventing carpal tunnel or other RSI's. sorry for telling you what to do but i both want you to enjoy books and not get injured later
as somepony with rsi, i REALLY recommend using a bookstand
