Reading is something I had a chance to do a lot of when I was younger. Every night before going to bed, I would end up reading but as time went on and more things filled my life, reading slowly began to take a back seat. Now it's gotten to the point when I can only read when I'm on holiday and away from normality. But the love never died and I have started to pick it up again with a couple of new books that I recently purchased.
The first I grabbed was something that I always wanted to read but never had the chance - Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time." Already a bit through it and it's bringing back on those physics lessons that I had forgotten and I am very much enjoying it.
The other I grabbed was Jeff Lindsay's latest Dexter novel, "Dexter by Design." I'm not sure how this one will pan out after his last book took the annoying mythology avenue. For those unaware, this is the book series that resulted in the creation of the Showtime series "Dexter" and in this case, the series is actually better than the books which is unusual but I am still going to give this book a go. I need a dose of Dexter before the next season comes out and the book will do quite nicely.
Hopefully with these two books, I might be able to make some time to read. It'll probably be easier when I get my own place, but until then, I will read when I can.
