I think sometimes my reading gets in the way of other things such as sleep; once I start reading a fiction book I often get hooked and can’t put it down.

I finished the Geisha of Gion yesterday, thank you for the book. I’ve already read The Virgin Lover, in fact I read it in Japan.

Thank you for the comment, I’m glad you enjoyed the list.

Thank you for the comment. Sometimes I am surprised at how many books I read a month as well, but after a particularly high peak such as 8 or 9 books in a month I will usually have a couple of months of no reading.

I tend to read fiction books one at a time because I completely lose myself in the story, however I may have one or two non fiction books going at the same time.

Thank you for the book suggestions, they both look interesting so I have added them to my wishlist on bookmooch.

I very rarely read chicklit either these days and have actually passed on a lot of those types of books through bookcrossing or bookmooch. I tried to read a wide variety of books, but at the moment fantasy does appear to be my favourite.

It has been suggested that I read too quickly and therefore don’t absorb fully what is written. However I lose myself completely in the story and want to know what happens so much that I have to keep reading.
