I am currently reading my way through a long list of science fiction and fantasy titles. (http://www.npr.org/2011/08/07/138938145/science-fiction-and-fantasy-finalists if you are interested in the list).
I need to be ready to discuss this book on Friday night for book club.
More effort is obviously required (at a time when all I want to do is curl up & re-read old favourites).
