What are you reading? What would you like to be reading?
I oversee a delightful group on FACEBOOK, called BOOKRAVE.....a group all about good reading and audio books. We encourage conversation on all things book related.
I am addicted to audiobooks. Having lost the sight in my left eye over then years ago to a detached retina, actually READING is much more physical than you can imagine....so having a book read out loud to me, without the commitment of that person being in the room is my not so secret habit. I still love to turn the pages and consider the choices of typefaces....but me and my battered IPOD have a special amore going!
To this end I offer my list of faves...in no particular order, and YES I do keep shifting it around....
MIDDLESEX
4 HOUR WORK WEEK
THE WORLD TO COME
MINISTRY OF SPECIAL CASES
THE GIRL WHO (yes , technically at this time here in the US, this is 2 books)
THREE CUPS OF TEA
1000 SPLENDID SUNS
WOLF HALL
SPECIMEN DAYS
THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS
DESTINY DISRUPTED
THE BOOK OF ILLUSION
I will post entire list by year's end on BOOKRAVE page.....as you can see, I have no real agenda in what I read....just finished THE LACUNA and it was really good....hard transition from the majesty that is WOLF HALL...so it took some time to get into this, but, well worth it. I am now in NEW YORK-the novel. Usually when they have to announce that it is A NOVEL, that is not such a good sign for me...but I am longing for a long, toothy, chew in these wintry streaky skied days. Need help getting out of the hat, and dog walks and treadmill sweats with a good tome are big assist.
Lemme know you thoughts on the abbreviated list above....check out BOOKRAVE.
I bid you comfy reading (chairs and earbuds) and long winter nights with the light burning, cuz you just cannot put that book down!
what is better than that?
