I just love books, the ability authors have to transport you to a different place, is really something else entirely. I have been reading alot lately. Finding myself picking up a book and not being able to put it down. Its so nice to be able to sit down and just soak in literature. For the last 3 years, I have found it hard to sit down, relax and just enjoy a book, always feeling guilty that I should really be reading something pertaining to my degree. But now that I am due to graduate in May and have no more classes, fiction has crept back into my daily routine, infact last night I stayed up late and read an entire novel. It was delicious.
So now I am on the hunt for new books to delight in.
Any suggestions? Books or Authors?
I think I might just go home, get myself a glass of iced ginger and lemon and start one of the paperbacks that is waiting faithfully for me on the shelf in my room.

Oh Tille I know just what you mean! I was just the same when I was studying - reading anything non-university related bought on a feeling of guilt. Now you can read for the sheer joy of reading - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh I know right! Its crazy how guilty you feel. Its always a challenge trying to find great books too, but I guess sometimes thats half the fun.
ReplyDeleteTo Kill a Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye if you haven't already.
ReplyDeleteHave you read Push? Its the book that is being released as a movie called Precious. It's meant to be fantastic. I ordered it from the library as uni ended and there were so many people that wanted it that it is only just available to pick up now. Guess what I will be doing this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteOh I havent! Let me know how it goes, and I will look into it! mmhmm!
