Reading corner.

I’m spending a lot of time reading lately.

Reading, reading and more reading. It’s as if I rediscovered it. Last year, I was doing field work where I was required to meet up with my group leader every couple of days and the place we would meet up at is the local library.

I never really set foot in the library much before and it’s a bit funny because the library is fairly new too.

It’s a beautiful building with plenty of light and commanding views and it even has a cafe in the bottom. So, it was something of a revelation to me that there was this very cool place I could go to and not only that libraries are much more modern now. Not at all as I remember them.

So, I’m a reader again which is a lot better than being a book buyer (and I’ve spent far too much money over the years on books).

So, what have I been reading?

Maybe that‘s something I can make a bit of a regular feature out of because truly it’s an eclectic list. The hard part is going to be remembering what I have checked out from the library over the last few months because I’ve checked out so very much!

This week though, let‘s talk about the book I just finished the other day.

It’s a book on a topic I found fascinating and if you are around my age you’ll probably find it fascinating too. Even if you’re not a peer in terms of age, if you have any love of comedy or the history of it, it’s a book worth checking out.
