The plan for today was to go for a Walk, with the aim of continuing the walking fun we had in the Lake District. This Walk depended on catching the slow train from Bedford towards Bletchley, but it turns out this service doesn't run on Sundays! So we've postponed the Walk until another day. I did some pilates instead this morning and as usual have discovered muscle groups I never knew I had before.
In lieu of walking we decided to have a blitz on the study. As well as containing the computer, this room tends to become a dumping ground for 'stuff which we need to sort out'. So today we sorted. As a consequence of this we have cleared out a whole load of books we'll never read again, and made some room on the bookshelf - see above. The photo gives you a pretty good idea of our reading tastes as well: I own the Ruth Rendell/Barbera Vine books and most of the crime/sci-fi. Tim on the other hand prefers Jasper Fforde and Alexander Mcall Smith. There's a random assortment of 'classics' and 'modern classics' as well - we're pretty wide ranging in our reading habits!
The books on the top of the bookshelf are our 'to read' pile, ones which one or the other of us haven't got round to yet. The exception to this is the 'Competitive Strategy Dynamics', which is one of Tim's textbooks - I can't see either of us reading that one for pleasure...

I can't see much evidence of spine bending on those Penguin classics ;-) You must have read the Tolstoy very carefully.
Is that other David Mitchell any good?
I got two-thirds of the way through Anna karenina before I got fed up with her moping around and stopped reading! As for the others... we'll read them someday.
Ghostwritten is quite good, in a wierd multiple-story kind of a way. Would you like to borrow it?
