The older you get and the more you read, the pickier you will get in your choices of books. At least this is what I have been experiencing for several years now. Sometimes I wish I could get as absorbed in a story (even a mediocre one) as I could when I was young(er). Ah, back then, the world was new and exciting.
I finished reading
The Library Book. This is a collection of essays about the love for books and reading, which I enjoyed very much. It also contains a short story by Kate Mosse and an extract of China Miéville's Un Lun Dun.
I have started
The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter (found it at the library). I like both authors a lot and I am enjoying it so far. It's a rather weird mix between those two, with Baxter's science and Pratchett's light and humorous style.
