So it seems that I have been a bit of a reading maniac this month. Alright, alright, so some of these books were those I had started reading last month, so that helped boost the numbers a bit (confession: it took me 9 months to read the Jules Verne!). I see the urgent need to read more non-fiction…. But first, to February and my attempt at reading mostly books in translation (the exceptions are the books from my previous library loot).
