The International Dressage
Reading Institute
A haven for those readers seeking expert instruction,
conducting research
or just looking for a comfy chair and some instant coffee.
The International Dressage Reading Institute
is located at 405 North Wabash Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.
It features a fabulous library, housed entirely in an IKEA birch cabinet owned
by Ms. Sandor and her husband Mr. Timm McIntyre, founder of the renowned Wabash
Avenue Martial Arts/Airplane/Spy Novel Archive.
Directly across from the Institute library is a soft sofa of moderate depth, suitable for beginning readers, and "The Smoochy Chair", a thick, springy apparatus which Ms. Sandor uses during her most intense reading sessions.
Additionally, Ms. Sandor sometimes augments the reading experience with refinements such as Folger's, Haagen Dazs, and McDonalds Two Cheeseburgers Meal.
Although the many volumes of the Institute library may intimidate those who are unfamiliar with the intense demands of dressage reading, visitors to the Institute should feel at ease."I have personally schooled some of the more difficult books," Ms. Sandor explains. "For instance, the volume by de Kunffy, which once refused to lie flat, is now supple and responsive, and no longer slams shut when the reader performs a double-handed Uberstreichen in order to grasp her sandwich."
