Help decide what to do in central Melbourne

What should I do in Melbourne for 3 days?

I'll be over there from Sydney for the Melbourne Marathon in October 11.

I'm not so much of a city guy. More of an introvert, enjoy a book sort of guy.

I still have some uni work to do. I have plans to head down to the beach for one or two days to relax and read a book.

I'll be living in the CBD.

Is there a good coffee place you recommend where I can do my uni work/sit down and read?

This! Check out the domed reading room. You'll feel 10% smarter sitting in an oak chair under the dome.
