As so many have said before me - it's all about priorities... 🙂 But the book will always be there when you do find the time - no hurry really.

I have just finished Jasper Fforde: Shades of Grey: The Road to High Saffron
A very good read. I like Jasper Fforde for his elegant use of language, and his keen eye to observe society. In this book which I understand is the first of a trilogy (two more books to come) he constructs an interesting future society based on the perception of colour...A very good read.

Rereading Scott Bakker: The Prince of Nothing
The saga is loosley inspired by the mediveal crusades. It has magic, curious religious orders and interesting people galore.

'Ready Player One' (2011) by Ernest Cline
The movie, directed by Steven Spielberg, is in theaters now.
I was told this book would resonate with me, being a total video game nerd from way back as well as a sci-fi fan. Enjoying it so far.
