Ah! How quickly the weekend flies by!
I have spent most of my weekend reading. I have finished reading "Master Of The World" by Jules Verne. The book concerns a police inspector's attempts at apprehending a mad genius who has created a vehicle which is capable of travelling on land, on water under the water and in the air. The vehicle is also capable of travelling at remarkably fast speeds. The mad creator of the vehicle plans to use it as part of some kind of nefarious scheme for world domination. Personally I found the story to be rather boring!! Admittedly the concept of such a vehicle may have seemed quite exciting when Jules Verne first published the book but it just doesn't grab me. Even as a small boy, I was never interested in cars, planes etc (unlike many of my fellow small boys at the time). I was always far more interested in plants (probably as a result of being given a big book full of lots of pictures of wild flowers by my parents when I was six) and the fungi that grew on our elderberry tree and the possibility that there might be ghosts in a certain house a few streets away. For some reason, cars and other mechanical contraptions just bored me! (They still do) Zzzzzzzz!!!
I have now decided to reread Dune.

when I was young I don't really remember being less busy yet I still had way more time to read.
now, if anything, on top of all my other worries, I worry over when I will find time to read a particular book.
