Being immobile is increasingly dull, so having been interested in literature, but never really having the time to read, I have decided to buy myself various books from Amazon and ebay. I will review each book as I finish it, hopefully making my time whilst incapacitated a little more productive.
The first order of books
I love books, so limiting myself was difficult, I bought a selection of books I'd heard of and a few that were new "wild cards" in the hope of discovering something new and amazing. I already owned a few books that I hadn't had time to read, I'll include these in the list of books I am due to read. As I go I'll strike out books I've read and hopefully by the time my leg is healed and I am due back to work I will have read all of my list, and possibly started a new list of books to read and review. I am aiming for 2-3 books a week once I have finished this essay, so I should be updating regularly.
