Thank you for asking. I have Officially Given Up Buying Books. But somehow, I keep finding that they've just followed me home... Current weaknesses: 1) Art/craft type books, preferably with lush piccies. I tell myself I will get around to making things in them -- but buying them may well be a compensation for not actually having time-with-energy enough to get anything much at all done outside Werk. 2) New Terry Pratchett -- which must be consumed Immediately... 3) Kiddie books: with the intention of sending them on to niecies and nevvies...
I used to be a fast reader: but having my close-up vision go all blurry has really slowed me down. Yes, I have reading glasses, which I use when the blurriness is consciously noticeable. But even when the type seems clear to my naked eyes, the words just don't whizz by as fast as they used.
