Reading: The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson.

Nothing new at my end. Had another busy work week, didn't get time to read anything. It is over now though, so should be able to finish it this week.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Struggling with Tristram Shandy.

I started off quite well and was getting the hang of the old fashioned language, etc, but then I went a day or two without reading it... and now I realise I have absolutely no idea what's going on!

Will have another go, but I suspect this is going to be another abandoned attempt.

Ouch, I hate when that happens. Haven't read anything like that recently though.

Yeah, I think maybe I was just overambitious. Until this summer, I haven't read so many books one after the other in many years, since before we had a kid in fact, and before I had a phone!

Something clicked while I was on holiday though and been devouring fiction since then - TS is maybe a bridge too far though!

Maybe I'll just read Infinite Jest again, something nice and simple... 😁
