I'm a GoodReads user testing new waters after the serious website changes. I mostly read fiction, usually Anglophone classics/ modern classics; I like nonfiction (mostly social and cultural history), good fantasy and graphic novels. For guilty pleasure, I read advice and how-to books. I made at least two reading resolutions recently; 1. read less, live more; 2. read books which give me more pleasure. I have poor filters, and books I find stylistically pleasing tend to be depressing, so I need to do something about that; if you think you know a book that is very well written, but won't make me weep, please drop me a line.

Night and Day

Night and Day - Virginia Woolf, Julia Briggs Love it; need to organise my thoughts. It seems curiously broken - first 80% are completely different from the final 20% - but I loved the writing (this is the first novel by V.W. I've read, apart from Orlando).
