The hardest part of reading (besides the big, scary words) is finding a remotely comfortable way to sit, or lie, while doing it. These crazy prism glasses will add “lying on your back” to the list of options, but you’ll look stupid.
It’s a simple concept. The prism glasses redirect your line of sight nintey degrees downward, parallel to your supine form. That way you can, in theory, prop your book or magazine on your chest or stomach, and still read it without doing crunches to tilt your head. Seems equally useful and disorienting. Probably not the best setup for reading Pynchon or something.
If you want to try this elegant yet weird solution a try, you can pick up a pair of these guys for about £16. Or you can, you know, sit in a chair like a normal person and just deal with it. Your call really. [bookofjoe]

This would help me a lot!!!
I might not wear them on a date but otherwise, zero fucks given whether I look stupid or not. No-one gives a toss about you in any way whatsoever, least of all what you look like.
Didn’t WOz have a pair of these in his epic backpack unpack shot? If he has them doesn’t that make them cool?
Surely this is most useful when in bed lying on your back, so who cares if you look like a tit. If you’re lucky enough to have someone sharing your bed on a regular basis, then hopefully they wont mind either!
I’m slightly confused as to why these are being reviewed, it’s not like it’s a new idea – I have a pair from the 30′s.
