I'm on a bit of a new book binge. Not that I'm buying new books just borrowing them from the library. I mentioned before the Bean was out and about that I was planning on getting lots of reading in over the next little while. I was a tiny bit worried that I was being a little optimistic regarding how much I was going to be able to read after she made her entrance, but I've been pretty lucky so far.
I'm not reading as fast as I normally do but I have been able to finish off a healthy stack of books over the last three weeks. So far I've been keeping to authors who I'm familiar with; Nick Hornby, Terry Pratchet, Neil Gaiman, and a newer member of my must read if written by list China Mieville.
In the Hospital and during our first week home I was reading Good Omens by Pratchet and Gaiman. I also read Hornby's Juliet Naked, a handful of Gaiman's Graphic novels, and I'm now reading Mieville's Un Lun Dun and loving it.
What's on your reading list right now?

Oh how great that you find time to read, even with a little bean! :) My youngest slept for the first 4 months of her life - that is ALL she did. I had never been so rested in my life! But then she woke up and has kept me on my toes ever since :D
I LOVE Hornby and Gaiman! Currently I'm reading Annie's Ghosts by Steve Luxenberg, which is a mystery memoir about his mother... very fascinating!
