I read a whole book yesterday! I haven't read a book in ages, it's called Wimmera by Mark Brandi. I used to be the sort of person who'd be reading 6 books at once, even as a child. But after I had a breakdown around 15 years ago I found I no longer had the concentration to read. I'd read the same few pages repeatedly and keep forgetting things, or be unable to grasp it somehow and give up in frustration and befuddled sadness. I found this book very engaging and, due to the places and times of the setting, very familiar also. So I finally read a book again. That was my excitement for the weekend!
