A favourite in our house. Now go read the Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood.

I managed a whole proper reading book during my christmas travels - Dracula - mostly because it was on the top of the pile of 'unreads'. I expect I shan't get to read for pleasure again until October.

Currently reading O zahir by Paulo Coelho one of my first books in portugese. I have read his others in english, so I understand his style of writing to make it a little easier to read in pt.

Obra completa by Vergílio Ferreira is the other book I have on the go. Although I have dubbed it "grimes fairy tales" again it is a book in portuguese I am trying to traslate as I go although to be honest the new vocab I have learnt from it all involve death and blood
