I’ve wanted a standing desk like this for a long time. (Philip Roth uses one, too.)

We are reading this in Sydney Australia where I am staying with my aunt who has just set herself up with a standing desk. She is a professor of something medical (sorry, I can never remember the discipline) and says there is all this research coming out now about how sitting in a chair at a desk for 8 hours a days is the worst thing you can do, that a sedentary lifestyle increases risk of cancer, heart disease etc and that going to the gym a couple of times a week isn’t enough to counter act it. My husband loves Hemingway… and makes furniture and I have put in a request for one just like this. We had seen the pics of him leaning against bookshelves etc but this shot and desk are lovely. Thanks for the post!
