What book are you reading now?

Kitsune

I decided that I needed a new book to read and managed to find one on my bookshelf that I’d only half read so thought I’d finish it off: Tower, An epic History of the Tower of London by Nigel Jones. I just wondered what everyone else is reading at the moment? What does everyone else like to read?

  • I tried to read The Lord Of The Rings : Fellowship Of The Ring when I was about 16. I managed about half of it and gave up. I haven't managed to read a fictional book since school when I had to, and that was hard work. I like to read reference books or scientific books. Not sure if it is the way fictional books are written or just the way I am. I like watching films so do enjoy a fictional story, but reading them takes so much effort it kills the enjoyment. I find myself re-reading the same paragraph over and over for it to sink in. I simply don't bother these days and look for a book on the design and operation of the jet engine rather than anything by Anne Rice....  I was quite impressed with the nine degrees of autism which was recommended by my assessor and I read the other week. It gives a timeline to the stages in life dealing with ASD and a positive model for moving forward.

    Who is the the author of the nine degrees of autism please? I might have to have a read of that!
