I haven't sat down and read in a LONG time. Maybe this weekend I'll make some time for it. What are you guys reading? Anything good?

Hello there,

I love the classics (I am afraid!) and have just been re-reading some Dickens.

Now I have just started Under Western Eyes by Joseph Conrad (another oldie) and I find a new fascination with things Russian.
I remember reading a book called Catherine the Great - can't remember the author, and really enjoyed that introduction to 'fictionalised' history.

Sometimes I wish it were different, but am not that into modern authors - no doubt to my loss, but am not captured in quite the same way as old writing as it were.

I remember a lecturer of ours, way back then, mocking D H Lawrence and the use of his commas - "Aren't you tired of his writing when yet another flower opens?'

Love reading ... have around 3 books on the go all the time and always a book in my bag to entertain me if I am kept waiting anywhere.

Cheers now

I too love to read always have my Kindle or a regular book handy. I have to make sure to structure my reading time or I don't get anything done. I read a lot of fiction but also have quite a collection of non-fiction. Haven't read through it all yet. I keep acquiring more. :) Thanks for dropping by. Have a good one. Jana Taylor

I haven't read in a long time too. Reading is one of my favorite past time. I used to read so much that at one time I was even reading when walking. The last time I read a book was when I read a book from my childhood and that was between 2010 and 2014. Before that the last book I read was before moving in Autumn of 2009. I had a lot of books unread that I was about to start before the fire. Now I am about to start my book collection again.
