Bit By Bit

Progress in reading has been slow of late. It's been almost a fortnight since I embarked on One Hundred Years of Solitude and I'm only halfway through. Having said that, I'm enjoying reading it so much that the slow pace is in some ways welcome - there's something to relish in every paragraph, and how nice it is to have such long paragraphs.

And the same is true of Peter Ackroyd's London - The Biography, which I actually started when in hospital. Sometimes I've only managed one page in a day, but each has been worth lingering over. Which helps account for the fact that I'm only around 60 pages in.
