More choices please?
How near is the lake? Near enough to jump in and swim the warm clear water on a hot summer day? Are there people around and there are sounds of a picnic going on?
Reading a philosophy book could be done in the last part of the day after the lake has been swum, the picnic eaten, the guests have left and the mess cleaned up, and you are now sitting by the window with a view of the shimmering lake reflecting the last light of the sunset.
Back to reality. If the book is brought out before the mess is cleaned up, the dang philosophy book will end up in the lake. Do I make myself understood?

I'd rather sit by the beautiful lake and think about my life and philosophy. The object is to enjoy the now and not take anything for granted of beauty.

I am always thinking philosophically, with or without a book. The lake seems like a nice place to reflect upon my thoughts. For those who say both I do not think one could easily read (and critically evaluate) a true philosophical work while sitting next a lake. True philosophical analysis usually comes thorough a careful close reading of a particular work.

I would much rather study the movements of nature than a book. Nature is alive, constantly flowing with time. Books are stagnant, boring things that require you to concentrate on what its words entail. If you study nature, you can observe the movements of life in motion.

I'm with Kevinnius - I want to do both!
Are there fish in the lake? If so, I'm going to bring my fishing gear.
