I suppose OCD is the wrong acronym and more like ADHD. Getting bored quickly and having a "change of scenery". Probably in the case of books, it is normal behaviour.

Why do we so quickly put things down to disorders? Can't it just be that we are restless because there are so many things to choose from?

That is a wise word.

"Normality" has a broad band of behaviour. Not every excentricity is a disorder.

Fair point.

I have just finished:

Ingo Schultze: Peter Holtz: Sein glückliches Leben erzählt von ihm selbst

An interesting book about the German "Wende" the demise of the GDR and the reunification. Probably a nice read if you are interested in the Transformation of the German Society end of the 80's early nities.

Vesna Goldsworthy: Gorsky (2015)
Val McDermid: The Anatomy of Crime (2014)

I had to read that for english Lit GCE bored me to sleep every night.

After having been on the to be read list for some time I now have read:

Terry Pratchett/Stephen Baxter

The Long War

A quite interesting take on a multiverse in which some can chaneg between different worlds which are more or less like the earth we live in.

Dennis Lehane: The Drop (2014)

Don Quixote (English translation)

A really great book. Are you interested in a dicussion? (I only read it in German translation)

Only quarter way through at present. Astonished by the violence and that no one dies as a result, but then it is fiction i suppose.

Ponderable, I have just noticed that you have a picture of the ingenious gentleman and his squire on your profile!
