Taking the 'meh' out of reading

Image from www.woodstockwardrobe.com

I don't know whether it's the general blahdom of having been sick or that when I was sick, I literally couldn't read (my eyes were blurry), but I just cannot find a book to light my fire right now (and I don't mean literally, fellow Melburnian winter-sufferers). Unfortunately I am not one of those diligent folk who can plough on with a book when it's getting a bit boring. It has to speak to me or forget it. I need colour and movement...!

So it is that I am part way through A Game of Thrones, part way through Bring Up the Bodies and part way through Dead to the World and nothing is doing it for me. I can read a few pages but then...meh. 

Tell me - please - what are you reading and loving right now?

Holiday reading

Lots of good holiday reading waiting for me on the bedside table. Exit Music by Ian Rankin, Charlaine Harris' From Dead to Worse, Christopher Stevens' great bio of Kenneth Williams, Born Brilliant and Goddess of Legend by P.C. Cast. Where to start! I have begun Born Brilliant but I am also starting on Anita Brookner's books (first - A Misalliance), hoping to find another Barbara Pym-esque writer.

How have you been spending your break?
