Reading, reading, reading...
Monday, 11 January 2010
As I spend long ours in airports and I am a trouble sleeper, I read quite a lot. I enjoy biographies, adventure (a là Wilbur Smith), and novels.
I recently read these two books which I found hilarious. Funny stories that do not require too much 'brain effort'and are the perfect company for those times I just want to relax.
And I ABSOLUTELY adore Sophie Kinsella. I read all her books (to keep my English at a decent level - as I am not a native speaker-->you wouldn't believe it, would you?
What I adore about her books, are mainly the high level of happiness and fun that ride through the characters and the stories - see for example the Shopaholic serie.
I don't know much of Isabel Wolff (author of A vintage affair) but I will read more about her.
When I read a book I very much like, I cannot put it down: I miss deadlines, to call my mother, my lunch breaks include a salad and the book and I cannot put it down even when I am....you know....at the lady's room. In fact, sometimes I just need a wee and stay there half an hour as I have to go to the end of the chapter!
Guess what? Once I nearly miss a plane as when I am reading, I am so rapt by the story that I am like deaf and I have no feelings of what's around me!!!!
Next Book?
Well, I have this "Memories of a Geisha" that is getting a lot of dust on the bedside table, but believe me, I started reading it and, it's a little, well, boring....or maybe I am not into the right mood for it.
Any feedback that will make me more curious about the book?
