As a vivid reader I find it natural to share what I am currently reading, have been reading in the past and plan to read in the future. I’m always looking for interesting recommendations so please chime in if you have any ideas as to which books I should pick up in the future – otherwise I just risk having to read some of all the unread books I already have.
