I have a lot of opportunity. Liebling is going nuts for books at the min. Every historical thriller going. She's reading a book a day.

I once left a note in a library book. I was late returning it and it was already reserved for the next reader. So I wanted to say sorry it was late and also to tell them not to read the foreword as it gave away the ending.

I’m having a reading crisis at the moment, I’m finding it very difficult to pick up physical books and sit and concentrate on them. This is quite disturbing.

I take PO’B far too seriously to crack a smile at that. And for all his philandering, I don’t think Jack ever considered himself being ‘unfaithful’.

Also struggling to concentrate Dio. I've been like this on and off for the whole pandemic. If a book grabs me, it's fine, but starting new books/books that don't grab me are a problem.

I've had a similar issue with focus and attention Dio - and not just with enjoyable things like reading. I find it really hard to focus on work tasks, which is something I used to be able to do relatively easily, no matter how dull. My reading choices have been quite 'light' as a result.
