What sort of books do people read?
At bedtime, I have to read a light novel on the kindle - something like Victoria Hislop, Santa Montefiore, Maggie O’Farrell, Kate Atkinson, Claire Keegan. If reading during the day, it would usually be something factual. I have just finished ‘God an Anatomy’ by Francesca Stavrakopoulou’, which explores ancient beliefs in the Levant from pre Biblical times, and considers how they have shaped western society. The book has been acclaimed by religious and non religious alike, and the author is a non believer. I am now reading ‘The World Before Us’ by Tom Higham. The author is a Professor of Scientific Archaeology and has done much work on the emergence of Homo Sapiens. It is fascinating stuff.
