About My Library

Why I like to read has been put into words perfectly in The History Boys by Alan Bennett:

The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.

In 2023, I made a big change to how I read - I decided to start giving up on books that weren't doing it for me!
