Have you ever stopped to rest on a park bench and wished you could be reading Turkish poetry? Yes, we all have, it's a very natural thing to want. Finally, someone has created a bench that fulfills that particular need, but you'll have to travel to Istanbul (not Constantinople) to see them. As you can see, these benches actually resemble open books, a very eye-catching and very clever idea. Really, anything that encourages reading is cool in my book. I'd like to see more benches like this, perhaps with entire novels written on them so you could actually read War and Peace while sitting outside. Of course, you could do that anyway, but this way you wouldn't have to lug the book around.Reading the bench
