Choosing a reading chair

I hope some of you avid readers can recommend a chair that is comfortable for sustained periods of reading.

At the moment my living room is full of 1950s and 1960s chairs that I have bought as junk and restored so are all quite good now but are not comfortable for sustained periods of reading.

Ideally it will need to have padded arm rests, a high back and decent padding for my bum (I've lost most of that padding through getting fit).

I did use to have a victorian wing chair that was nice but I can't find them where I live (Brazil) as most stuff here is from the 50s at the oldest.

Most of what I find is the contemporary recliner chairs and I don't think I could stand the look of them - too much association with old people for my taste.

At the moment it tends to be the hammock but it is way too easy to fall asleep there.

Any thoughts on what works for you?
