What Book are You Reading?

[Banks]

Hi Maranda,

The Alchemist is Ok, but I find it as more of a kid’s book. Nothing against kids books, some of the best I have ever read were directed and the short people.

There are some great books out there. You know my tastes pretty well by now

A great one I read recently was a kid’s book called 'the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime' - Great, no clue or hint. Just read it.

As a bit more involved book another suggestion would be Mr Norell and Jonathan Strange' long, magic related but written expertly and gripping!

In the mood for a certain genre? Just ask.

Hi all, thanks Julia I have to check that book out.

There's actually a whole series....they can become quite addictive

Finding time to read is difficult if you have a busy schedule. I find the best thing is reserving an hour before bed time and curling up with your book. If you're afraid of falling asleep with the book, let me suggest heading to a quiet coffee shop for an hour or two.

Additionally, I know that short stories aren't popular these days, but they are great if you would like a quick read and don't want the pressure of reading a 250-page story in order to find out what happens at the end.

I'm also a fan of fun commercial and non-fiction books.

Here are some suggested readings:
Best American Short Stories - 2006
Drinking Coffee Elsewhere by ZZ Packer
Blink by Malcolm Gladwell

My problem isn't falling asleep with the book, it's staying up into the wee hours of the morning because I can't put it down
