Listening on audiobook with Stephen Fry.

Giving this another go 🛸

I'm jumping from book to book and I can't settle on anything. Maybe this will be one.

Unable to read in long chunks.

The race to Monday begins.

I'm really enjoying this book but this quote is really making me question it.

"Australians insist on drinking the absolute worst tea imaginable. Nobody has ever felt better after a cup of sodding Bushells. Luckily I have PG Tips, bought at vast expense"

"he’s in there. Deep down. A man who knows his own mind, and isn’t beholden to his dead brother’s shadow."

I think I'm finally getting back into the mindframe for reading.

5 days to go on the audiobook got me on this! After my initial scepticism I have been enjoying it.

Let's go 2 weeks to book club!

New audiobook listen. I'm not sure I'm fully interested in the book but I'll give it a go for now.

"Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the “size” of human suffering is absolutely relative."

My current bedtime read.

This book is sooo so good. I'm very glad to be reading fantasy again.

"All I can say is that all of us, humans, witches, bears, are engaged in a war already, although not all of us know it. Whether you find danger on Svalbard or whether you fly off unharmed, you are a recruit, under arms, a soldier."

I like this quote. I've also never thought about this.
"Being a practiced liar doesn't mean you have a powerful imagination. Many good liars have no imagination at all; it's that which gives their lies such wide-eyed conviction."

The race to finish for tomorrow continues but also this book is so good.

This is fascinating so far.

Bus Driver's Prayer: (Our Father Parody)
"Our Farnham, who art in Hendon,
Harrow be thy name.
Thy Kingston come; thy Wimbledon,
In Erith as it is in Hendon.
Give us this day our daily Brent And forgive us our Westminster,
As we forgive those who Westminster against us.

I'm against the clock to read this before Wednesday. It's got me slightly hooked already. I also can't believe that I remember practically nothing from the book. Although Lyra's name is familiar.

I like this so far. Although my concentration is really poor right now.

Trying to get in touch with my creative side.

"Here he is now, a non-robot with a camera and a pair of twenty-twenty eyes and a heart pitching forwards, tripping up, at the earth’s singularity. It bangs against his ribs as he films."

Making slow progress as I need to concentrate and slow down to this in and I can't at the moment.
