Haha!
I think it's great when you're travelling, I find it's easier to get into a book as you've no option but to sit there for a certain length of time!


Haha yeah, I had some difficulty with reading at home a few years ago because I could not concentrate, but now I can read anywhere except for extremely noisy and active atmospheres.

Would you happen to like the classic romance stories of Jane Austen and the Bronte Sisters? I have an indescribable fondness for them haha

People have different tastes I guess :dontknow:
I've read about 30 pages and I was liked it, its a bit slow at the start but I guess it'll move faster during the middle.

Harlan Coben - Caught
I'm reading David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas.

Still only on the second section but so farsie, so goodsie - I'm really enjoying the "Russian Doll" structure, and the writing style is beautiful.

I think the character of Jane Eyre is more likable and relatable than Cathy. Not that I don't like Wuthering Heights, I was just more emotionally invested in Jane Eyre.
