After going into hospital last September, I found it really difficult to read anything for some reason. I still haven't quite recovered my enthusiasm for books (I've only read 3 so far this year).</p> http://www.townx.org/blog/elliot/books-read-2012#comments tech Mon, 10 Jun 2013 18:15:14 -0400 elliot 814 at http://www.townx.org
