Holiday reading

A holiday reading update...
  • I finished Wolf Hall at last.
  • I was given both Imperial Bedrooms and Sunset Park by HRH for Christmas, which neither of us believe in.
  • I was given The Quiet American by my mother for Christmas, which neither of us believe in.
  • I am reading The Fruit Hunters and an overly foxed, 1953 copy of Captain Cook's Voyages in an impassioned return to non-fiction, which I somehow put aside as an ill-considered and ineffectual means to expedite my reading of Wolf Hall, which took six months anyway.
  • Cosmopolis continues to break my brain. I wanted to kill myself on reading it this morning; fortunately, that's usually a sign that things are about to improve.
  • I have cleared out my book stash, and made an exciting list of all the books I own that I've never read, and will aim to this year. Woo!
  • All I seem to do is read and lie in the hammock. Thanks, in part, to this stupidly delightful weather.
And you? Holiday reading updates, please...
