What book are you reading? & Book Recommendations

What book are you reading?

What books have you read lately?

Do you have any book recommendations?

I love to read but because I read so much I have read a lot of books and struggle to find new ones to pick up. The last book I read was Gareth Brown: The Book of Doors – I found it to be one of those ”I can’t put this down” books and finished the near 500 page book within 3 days.

I normally stick to a routine of going to bed at 10:30pm but because of this book I wasn’t getting to sleep until about 2:00am. Worth it though it was such a great book!

Adding this to my recommendations for other avid readers.

Now I’m reading Nerd Do Well – Simon Peggs autobiography. I’m a big Simon Pegg fan, I love his films and when I saw he’d released a biography, I went out and bought it straight away!

Looking forward to hearing what you have read and checking any recommendations you may have.

  • I don't understand how people read things quickly. I have read lots of books, but it takes me weeks not days. I find I read paragraphs twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. When I pick up a book the next day to continue I skim the previous section and if I don't remember it I read it again. It is annoying and makes for slow going, but I can't stop myself.

    I have to stop myself buying too many books as I buy them faster than I can read them.

    I have various history and science fiction stuff waiting.

    I read really quickly, I can easily read a book a day, sometimes more if I really go for it. I don't read that fast on purpose, but I do read a lot, so I guess it's partly practice. I'd love to have a pile of books waiting to be read, at the momment I'm finding it hard to find new books.
