Happy New Year!

First post of the year and already a book in the bag, although I read 90% of it in December. I did finish it in 2025 so I’m counting it for this year.

The Most Interesting Book In The World by Edward Brooke-Hitching

Like the title suggests this a very interesting read, and a nice collection or miscellany of facts from all aspects like sports, science, literature, politics and general history. It reminded me of a series of books I loved about 15 years ago called Schotts Original Miscellany – books full of interesting, useful and useless information.

It was a fun book to get stuck into and get me out of my reading slump and start this year as I mean to go on.

I do intend to start my first complete read of the year tonight. Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata.
