Happy New Year! Good Luck with your 2018 Reading Challenge. I can't wait to compare books we read.

Thanks very much, and same to you!

Hello Roy, the past three years I've been following your reviews and I can't stop wondering how you manage to read so much? I mean, those often are long books and you read about 2-3 per week? How do you do it?
I hope you have a merry Christmas and a good start into the next year!

Hello! Well, I think the secret is multitasking. I normally have one book I read in the morning, another for my commutes, and another book for before I go to bed. But the biggest help has been using audiobooks. My schedule often involves a lot of walking and waiting, so I've found that audiobooks are perfect for passing the time. They are particularly great for getting through novels and long history books.

Happy New Years!

Happy New Year! This year I really liked Gnomon, great novel with meaningful references to early North African Christianity, alchemy to Ethiopian jazz and the surveillance state of the UK. An eclectic read, arcane but very compelling.
