Happily during the winter the walk to the library isn't quite so appealing any more, so hopefully I'll get more of my own books read as these go back!<br /><br />My reading has drifted back as well. For me it was review pressure and also the prevalence of YA all around me that changed my reading habits, but over the years I've found myself becoming more discerning and reconnecting with books I actually want to read and love. Good for us, I say!<br /><br />I've got Cash and Wild, I really should start to pick up some of my own non-fiction again. I have great swathes of it but I keep picking up more from the library and never reading my own! Or only reading the easiest books, which is just as bad.<br /><br />I think The Perks of Being a Wallflower is possibly my favourite book-to-movie adaptation. I also really liked To Kill a Mockingbird and Catching Fire. Can't think of any others off the top of my head. :)<br /><br />I gave up on American Psycho as a teenager because I really didn't fancy the idea of unexpectedly seeing my lunch again - but I do want to give it another go now I'm older and my stomach's stronger. I've heard that it's worth it, so I'm determined to find out sooner or later!<br /><br />Okay I need to do this survey now. :DElliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246380981479604275.post-26224453375919584902014-10-21T19:27:25.353+01:002014-10-21T19:27:25.353+01:00Probably because when I was a kid my mum's Pol...Probably because when I was a kid my mum's Polish friend who I absolutely adored gave me a copy of Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz even though I was about eight, and I read it and loved it and have always wanted to read it in the original language. Also I know a lot of Polish people and now have a Polish brother-in-law, so it makes sense really :-) anarmchairbytheseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593618746095559894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246380981479604275.post-57639176158801184052014-10-21T09:27:48.509+01:002014-10-21T09:27:48.509+01:00Why Polish?
