read more good books

I highly recommend ‘Q&A’. It is a really good book.

Slumdog Millionaire is based on it, but apparently it’s quite different. I haven’t watched it yet because I am scared it’ll kill the book for me.

I have always found this to be rewarding and I enjoy it. However, for some reason I find it so hard to start and, more importantly, stick with it.

I’m always working on a book, but I’d like to find more time to read every day. I’ve got so many great books on my shelf that I’m chipping away at too slowly.

Durin the last 2 years I have read more books already than in the rest of my life, but I really want to start reading one good book per week from now on. There is so much valuable information in books!!

yeah, the online thing didn’t work.

I recently re-read The Hill of the Red Fox by Allan Campbell McLean. Set in the 50s in Trotternish on Skye, a twelve year old boy leaves his mother’s home in London to stay in his (dead) father’s house, and gets involved in a plot to smuggle atomic scientists to Russia. The book was every bit as brilliant as when I read it at school.

Then I read Allan Campbell McLean’s Master of Morgana. Also set on Trotternish, a sixteen year old boy suspects his brother’s near fatal accident is not an accident at all, and sets out to uncover why anyone would want to kill him. Again a wonderful read, with a beautiful setting and riveting plot.

I wish I could do this if school and work didn’t get in the way.
