Ah, the blogging portion of the internet! I remember you!

It’s been both hectic and quiet in these parts of late, which has meant a lack of blogging fun (although I’ve still been mostly keeping up with my Google Reader…). By that I mean that I have been busy, but I’ve been busy not doing a great deal. Which suits me fine.

You’d think that I’ve been reading lots! I kind of did, it’s just that the book I’m reading right now is incredibly dense and really quite long, so I’m not actually halfway through it yet. And it’s been a while. It’s become the Everest that I must climb. I must finish this book. I’m sure others among you have battled with books which are great but just incredibly time-consuming?

On top of that, it’s back to college for me. The final accountancy exams before I can be an exam-qualified Chartered Accountant are looming and this is the bad, the very bad, kind of busy. But this time round I’m going to keep a certain portion of time to one side for reading, because I just don’t understand people who can do nothing but account for stuff. Really, deferred tax, consolidated financial statements… they’re just not that much fun. A little reading goes a long way…

I’m tired, and I’m rambling, and I know it. I’ve got two books to review, and reviews are coming, but what I’m really posting for today is: what should I be reading, alongside MAMMOTH BOOK* to keep me going through the dark months of exam-studying ahead? I’ve got just oodles on my TBR pile, including White Woman on a Green Bicycle which looks like it could be quite nice and readable. Any other ideas? I really don’t want to give in and live a life with no literature!

What a dreary life that would be for a book addict.

* A very large, dense book. Not a book about mammoths. Although reading about mammoths is not something that I would rule out.
