I can't recall a time I wasn't reading a book of some kind: Historical, fictional, non-fictional, biographical, technical, informational and others all from a wide variety of authors and across many genres. Reading is one of the ways I relax and I try to read for pleasure at least once a day even if it's only for an hour because I find the time I spend reading helps me detach from the every day aspect of life and permits an escape of sorts into the words on the page.
I've read some rubbish, something I thought I'd like but didn't, and a few times I've been bitterly disappointed by an author because, for whatever reason, they've not finished the series; Robert Jordan and The wheel of time series comes to mind - it dragged out over many years and he never personally completed it, someone else had to. And then there's R.R. Martin and his Game of thrones epic which he never finished. (Nutbag!)
Mostly though, what I've read I've liked and I have some strong favourites that I've read more than once.
You can see my latest book here in this image called Executive Orders, by Tom Clancy which is an epic read of some thirteen hundred fine-print pages which is riveting and difficult to put down. I've been reading at work on my lunchbreak which has been good because I've been eating at my desk (or on the run) for the last couple months whilst working so at least this way I'm forced into taking a little time away for myself.
I've got a few books lined up, I tend to buy them ahead of time and have several in the line-up ready to go, and the next is a completely different type of book and one I'm really looking forward to; it's by chap called Bear Grylls and I'm told it's a pretty good read. Time will tell.
Anyway, I thought I'd pose the question to you folks about what you're currently reading or, if you're between books, what would you say was the most enjoyable book you've read in the last year? Feel free to comment below.
