[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 257270, member: 4085"] ALWAYS make time to read for pleasure, even it's just the funny pages in the paper. Reading is THE greatest pleasure. How else can you travel from Ancient Egypt to the literal end of Time and Space - while riding the train/bus. I know it's a drag having to read set works and technical journals but I always read a little for pleasure every day, even it is in bed before I pass out from exhaustion. I have just finished re-reading a couple of Michael Crichton books, [I]The Terminal Man[/I] and [I]The Andromeda Strain[/I]. Although they are marketed as science fiction I find them more interesting as essays on scientific ethics. I'll probably start on a historical novel next - I'm still debating with myself whether it will be Nigel Tranter's [I]Bruce Trilogy[/I] (about Robert the Bruce) or Colleen McCullough's [I]Masters of Rome[/I] series. Or I must just pick up another Terry Pratchett - he's Marg's favourite author but I can't split him away from about six or seven others who are very high in my list. Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
