books books books. If they came in the form of blankets I would wrap them around me on cold nights, and let mindless worries drift away into my earl grey. I am one of those odd individuals who panic at the thought of how many books there are outthere that i have not read and may never well get round to reading (the apparently innocuous title '100 Books you must read before you Die' springs quite painfully to mind). Having spent this Monday afternoon browsing the
Guardians top 100 books of all time (no mention of death in this list thankfully) I've come up with my own list of a manageable 10 that I really really should have read by now. Audiobooks will be an almighty help when it comes to my painting sessions too.
