What are you reading, what sort of books do you love and why?
I tend to read non fiction during the day and fiction at night. I've just finished a brilliant book called How the World Made the West, by Josephine Quinn, which shows how interconnected the world was and always has been and how its only been in the last couple of hundred years that Greek and Roman have come to dominate our cultural history. MNow I'm reading a book on The Pirates Code, about the actual laws of the sea and how pirates opperated.
Fir fiction I mostly read crime novels, not true crime though, I like my crime and detectives fictional. I think crime fiction appeals to me as the good guys usually win and I can understand the emotional context of the characters which I find hard in more mainstream fiction.
I love love Love reading! Books are my favourite. I own many, many books, my library is huge. I first started reading when I was a child and I still read so many books now. My collection is ever growing.
I'm currently reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak which I have read several times before. I find it an enticing read, sad, amazing and brilliant all at the same time.
