How do you eat an Elephant?

...one piece at a time!

I've recently been reading 'Long Way Down' the story/journal of two famous guys riding through Africa. It's a pretty big book by my standards but I've almost finished it by reading it in tiny bits every time I visit our 'smallest room'. That's right, this has been my toilet book! In the chaos that is a family of six, this book and that room has been a great escape!

My reading over the last couple of years has been other people's adventures. From motorbikes around the world to rafts across the Pacific and Hobbits through middle earth. The reason for this is probably because I want my own adventure but right now I have a lot of people depending on me for a lot things so the idea of escaping for an adventure, even a tiny one, is not a reality. Reading about other people's will have to do for now.

So the search is on for the next source of escapism to be devoured in bite sized pieces!
