Lovely thread nearly50.
Oh I love to read it's my favourite thing. Always books for me not Kindles or any such stuff. My hubby calls me a troglodyte but my daughter has a passion for books too and totally understands where I'm coming from. There is something totally magical about the smell, feel and weight of a good book in your hands.
Four on the go at the moment which is not unusual for me, I dip in depending on my situation and mood, two are non fiction, the other two fiction. The French Intifada - the long war between France and its Arabs by Andrew Hussey. Blood River A journey to Africa's broken heart, by Tim Butcher. Those who leave and those who stay, book 3 in the Elana Ferrante Neapolitan novels. And lastly Charlotte by David Foenkinos which my daughter has just sent me over and is keen to discuss with me.
