Keep your legs warm with your quotes from your favorite books

Read my legs and weep.

If you like reading on the subway but hate schlepping a heavy book with you, there are a few solutions: You could get an e-reader, you could listen to an audiobook or you could wear your literature.

If you're fashion-inclined and adept at reading upside-down, you could wear a pair of tights with your favorite book's words printed on them.

Israeli designer Dega sells tights on the Etsy store TightsShop that are an homage to a variety of novels and authors. Passages and quotes from specific books are printed on the tights. Obviously, they're more for turning your literary passions into fashion than giving you something to read, but nothing's stopping you.

As explained on their Etsy page, TightsShop is run by married duo: a graphic designer and a photographer. TightsShop started printing their designs on baby clothes, and they eventually evolved into printing on tights.

TightsShop encourages buyers to give them a challenge by ordering custom-made tights.

"You can ask from us to make almost anything. We love challenges," they wrote on Etsy.
