I was supposed to be flying to Portugal tomorrow for a week in the sun. As that’s now out the window I’ve booked myself (and only myself) into a spa hotel for a few days. I am planning on doing absolutely nothing other than boiling myself, reading and eating.
Having had a look through my bookcase there’s nothing I can find that I particularly want to read though - it’s all either too trashy, demands too much concentration or I’ve already read it.
I’ve been looking for something like Hamnet, Circe or The Night Circus - all books that are really well written but don’t demand too much focus (I’m still scarred from ploughing through The Mirror and the Light for 800 odd pages).
Any recommendations?
