Are you a sipper or a gulper when it comes to reading? This question was posed by science fiction and fantasy writer Jo Walton on Tor.com. I am definitely a gulper. I know this because I inhaled the Stieg Larsson Millennium-trilogy by the end of June and since then have been experiencing a bit of a book reading famine. I admit I do hate getting into a new book. For that, I need pure uninterrupted time where I can focus on the new characters and plot. Summer time is too distracting for me. There is golf to be played, gardens to tend, outdoor projects to contemplate. So knowing I have airplane time to fill is the best. This week my husband and I are headed to Australia. With two 18 hour flights staring us in the face (not to mention the hours killing time at various airports), I will be dusting off my book bib and diving in dirty face to what I hope will be some great reads to report back to you on. Enjoy what’s left of the summer everyone. See you in September!
