| BCoF prompt for August 23, 2025 “So many books, so little time.” ― Frank Zappa Are you like me with a stack of books waiting to be read and reading more than one at once? Or are you a person who only reads one book at a time and then replaces the book when you have finished the one you were reading? Tell us about your reading style? I am a two-, and occasionally three-, books-at-a-time reader. One at my bedside, one in the bathroom, and sometimes one in the home office. I don't always read at bedtime, but when the day's been hectic or troublesome and I can't stop rehashing events, emotions and conversations, I grab something to break the spell. My recent choice is Bored of the Rings by The Harvard Lampoon. It's hilarious and puts a smile back on my face. Various gastrointestinal issues can result in occasional bathroom visits lasting longer than normal. For these times I prefer a book, or better yet a series, whose author has conveniently provided reasonably short scenes and frequent narrative breaks, so I can easily find a place to pause. My current selection is the chronicles of Brother Cadfael by Ellis Peters. It's a series of murder mysteries set in early 12th century England wherein a Welsh Benedictine monk, Cadfael, aids the law in investigating murders. No explosions. No shootouts. Just interesting reading, and very well written. I don't have an office read right now. I usually have one only when I want or need to check out something someone has recommended or passed on to me. Or when I need to research something. |
