I decided that the best way to motivate myself to read again is to read something short, so I just read Rabbit Test by Samantha Mills. It’s very good and I wasn’t expecting the history aspect of it, which I also loved!
Still on Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie. It’s pretty good but I’m starting to feel that it’s now quite what I’m in the mood for at the moment. Going to finish it though since it is good and I’ve read the whole trilogy in a row.
I’m longing for some new Peter F. Hamilton though!
I needed a break from Paradise Lost so I started reading Zadie Smith’s White Teeth. I’m really enjoying her characters so far. There’s something larger than life about them.
I’ve been struggling to motivate myself to read lately, so I’m still reading The Bright Ages
Some weeks I read a crap ton, some weeks I don’t. What’s matter is you’re reading what you enjoy. Know that reading at least one book in a year is more than most people, so that’s an accomplishment in of itself!
I’m reading The Consolations of the Forest, a cozy but bizarre book about a writer who decides to do a Thoreau-inspired hermitage, except the cabin is in the Russian tundra. The level of vodka drinking is wild, I’d never survive!
Also reading/referencing a bunch of Vietnam travel guides to prepare for a trip! Just finishing up Eat Vietnam, so I can learn what I can eat, lol. Food allergies in foreign countries are always an adventure!
