I read every night, far better than watching the telly.

Right now I am working my way through a medieval fiction series I have bought over the past twelve years, by the author Susanna Gregory.

I'm also studying ASL (second semester) and I'm learning about the bones, muscles, tendons, main arteries and veins of the foot, so that I can enjoy my new(start tomorrow) job more.  

So lots of reading here.

I recently read , Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman which was a fabulous riff on superheroes from an adult perspective , warm witty and at times achingly sad . I also read Relay by Ken Grimwood recently . Its about a man who dies at age forty three and wakes up again as his eighteen year old self .
