Good going Chris.

I've had 3 books on the go for the best part of this year… finally finished one the other night.
Hardly a taxing read; Dom Jolly's, Dark Tourist.

I dont normally have multiple books on the go, but the other two were a bit hard going (for the concentration i had available (hence the switches)).

It's the one benefit of a long commute (together with the number of albums I get to listen to).

Where do you work - John O'Groats? :wink:

You ought to go in for the Man Who's Read The Most Books and Listened To The Most Albums award. You'd walk it!

:D

Live in Milton keynes and commute to London, so door to door it's nearly 2 hours each way, so can get through a good amount of listening and reading each day.
