Reading (books, newspapers or magazines) in bed for 30 to 60 minutes is part of my daily routine. Now that I’m having much less work than usual I’ve also been reading during the day: I’m finishing the first of the four volumes of Elsa Ferrante’s Neapolitan Novels. I had started reading it when it was published but stopped because I was unable to keep track of all the characters. At this point, that ceased to be a problem…

It depends what you mean by pleasure. Define pleasure, and I'll tell you if what I read, I read for pleasure or for some other reason.

I read a lot. And I have a lot of reading to do.

Crosword puzzle phase Apr 26, 2020

Right now, I'm in a crossword puzzle phase. I alternate between that and reading, but the puzzles have been more entertaining and helping me sleep faster than the books lately.

Whenever I can. I used to read a lot on planes and/or trains. Hopefully I can do this again soon.

It all depends Apr 26, 2020

It all depends which book I pick up off my pile. Today it might be this - or something else.
