That's a bit sad, you know. However busy I am, I always find time to read new things. It's good that you enjoy your study-related reading material.

Ah, but the glorious snips to which ijon randomly treats himself AND offers us here in his LJ remind me how sometimes a choice passage contains - and reveals - the essence of superb reading.

One of the great boons of exposure to others' recommended reading, is the inspired guidance it grants when we crave something new or reacquaintance with the Good Old (e.g. Jane Austen). I've necessarily curtailed my reading of fiction due to immediate (and longterm) requirements of ploughing through much nonfiction, including in an acquired language (Hebrew) that's maddeningly slow going.
I savor, therefore, even small tastes, and am gratefully illuminated by gleams and beams of light.
