Wow, well this year I’ve read more so far than I read in 3 months in 2009…haha. Although I do feel like I’m “cheating” a bit as most of them have been either children’s or poetry! But no matter how long it takes me to read I suppose its still improving my mind and giving me greater knowledge about things, so that’s all good. I’m really enjoying reading the children’s books again, as they were so great when I was younger and are mostly still great now! I’m currently reading “The Plague” by Albert Camus, which so far is much easier to read than I thought – I thought it would be a bit dense and philosophical – but luckily its not, and its really good.
I’ve also got one book (a fantastic collection of poetry!) 6 films (oops, bit behind on those! Might just do short film reviews this year as I’m reading so many books!) and a gig review to do, will come back and do those soon….
