Reading

It seems like a long time since I read an actual book or an actual novel.  And that is a shame, because there are a lot of classics and a lot of good reads that I haven't got to and that I would like to immerse myself in.  But in those spare moments, instead of reading I play games on my iPhone - and that can't be good for me or my mental health.  I've even fallen behind on my TIME magazine intake - as much as anything, the relentless and punishing news cycles we go through with Trump and Brexit and everything else going on in the world at the moment is just depressing and unappealing.  Even more reason why I need the escapism of a good book!
