I have checked out 5 books from the library this month and none of them is quite interesting me. I want to read a really good work of fiction along the lines of Maeve Binchy or Rosamunde Pilcher. But I haven't found anything this month yet.

I usually have two or three books that I am reading. I will keep one downstairs and a couple of books upstairs in my room. Then I read whichever one I feel like reading. Sometimes I will read several chapters in one book and then pick up another book and read a chapter or so. Some people may think it would be confusing to read several books simultaneously but I don't seem to have any problems.

One book that I am reading right now is The Lost Art of Gratitiude by Alexander McCall Smith.

What I like best about this book is the sheer Scottishness of the setting and the characters. It is a little heavy on the main character's moral contemplations.But maybe that is to be expected since she is a philosopher. I have not finished the book yet but so far, it is ok.
