Well there are some good things about the Yuletide season. My lovely family and friends purchased more books for my library. Two novels by Charlotte Grimshawe; a book of short stories by Janet Frame (published after her death); a poetry anthology about the New Zealand landscape; a book of essays by a Guardian journalist and Witi Ihamaera's latest book based on Parihaka in the 19th century. A very satisfactory haul.
I am powering through my books currently helped on by my holiday. Have read a number of pages of Volume 2 of Proust. When I read him, I enjoy the experience but then find it hard to pickup again. I guess I need more discipline!!
What books did others get for Xmas?

Xmas Book Reading
I am now officially on leave for 3 weeks so will be on a reading marathon. Complete Volume 2 of Proust, letters of Patrick White, two of the latest Jason Fforde Books and Volume 5 of Virginia Woolf's diary and that is just for the first day.
Need to get these out of the way so that I can start reading my Xmas presents on the 25th.
Xmas Greetings to you all (or Seasons Greetings for others..) and may you end the year with a high tally of books read and an unrealistically high goal for reads in 2013.
