- About My Library
- my library is a mixed bag. There are the classics that I love to return to now and again (George. Eliot is a particular favourite) and the ones I know I should read and will do someday but just haven't got around to yet. Virginia Woolf beckons from time to time. Then there are the Booker prize winners that I am working through - I have read 10 of them so far. I have a pile of books bought for work that somehow I can't find time to read. So In total probably something in the order of 70 titles just waiting for a rainy month or two so I can enjoy them. But I still can't keep myself from buying yet more.
My Wiki page is here - About Me
- I was a journalist for 9years or so before moving into the world of corporate communications. My love of reading helps keep me sane on long international flights - I usually have more than one novel with me because I can't bear the thought of nine hours or so with nothing good to read. At the moment I'm trying to finish a Literature degree But in my spare time I've also embarked on a challenge to read all the Booker prize winning books and to track my progress in a blog - http://allthingsbooker.wordpress.com/
