Re: How Many Books Have You Read This Year?
I am a prolific reader too.
I must have managed about thirty so far…..a couple of the books I have bought left me cold.
Sebastian Faulks Human Traces was a beast of a book….it was not an easy read and I did not enjoy it.
I should have given up on it but felt that it might get better…it didn’t.
And a book I DID give up on was the tattooist of Auschwitz.
Most of my reading matter comes from the charity shops…and goes back to them when I have finished with them.
So my habit doesn’t cost much and benefits many I guess.
