Slow reading start to the year
Feb. 13th, 2026 06:43 pmSlow start to the year with my recreational reading. Too heavily sedated. But do have various books on the go, generally ebooks with gargantuan fonts needed due to my progressive neurological disease. So having fun. But don't expect to read as much as I did last year, or the year before.
Current main reads include Everything Will Swallow You by Tom Cox, Echolands on the trail of Boudica by Duncan Mackay, and 1001 Nights in Time & Space (Doctor Who) by Steve Cole and Paul Magrs. Well through them all, switching between as I feel like it. A happy (albeit slow!) reader.
I have finished 4 other books already this year, and will post here about finished books in the next few weeks. But it's still looking like I'll end up reading vastly fewer than I've managed in previous years. To be fair I've been flaring dramatically since November. But I think the flare's subsiding now, and I'm dealing more with continuing disease progression.
