Parallel

This post is not about a specific book but about where I am at the moment. I rarely have as much time as I would like to read unless I am on holiday.

I frequently read more than one book at a time. At this time, I am reading Chasing Darkness by Robert Crais but finding the main protagonist a rather muted shadow of his former self. I could not wait to start to the excellent The Last Theorem and am waiting for the Grand Galactics (or more accurately the One Point Fives) to arrive to destroy us.

My mandatory non-fiction of the moment is Young Stalin by Simon Sebag Montefiore. Well written but substantial, it's completion is logical before I move on to The Court of the Red Tsar, already on my shelf.
