How do you read a Labrador?
I'm all for reading material in the smallest room. Used to have a few car-related mags but these day it's either an electronic tablet device or a real made-from-paper book. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Don't know about toilets in Reading but I do know there is only one Looe in Cornwall.

Great book -“ The timewasters letters”
Very funny, completely pointless and no deep meanings to contemplate. Mostly a couple of pages, but some longer extract for those longer quality times

I'm currently working my way through the books that became "The Expanse" sci-fi series on Prime (and on Sify channel before that I think). So far I'm 3/4 of the way through book 5 of the 8 available. Book 9, which is supposed to wrap up the series is due out later this year.
Thoroughly enjoying it so far even if the books do feel like they were written to be turned in to a film/TV series (some of it is all too obviously Hollywood in feel, although it doesn't detract from the overall feel for me).
If you like multi-volume books, I enjoyed the Stephen Baxter / Terry Pratchett's The Long Earth. Some interesting ideas about multiple universes. Stephen Baxter has written some excellent "space operas" (as the genre is termed).
I can also recommend Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary. Weir wrote The Martian that went on to be a Matt Damon showpiece. I enjoyed both books - The Martian was much better than the film version but that is not at all unusual. Both of those were read in fairly short order so they obviously appealed to me.
As might be gleaned from the above, I do like a good sci-fi read. 8)
Edit: oh, and that's not all just potty reading. I read books a lot and so they will inevitably end up being read whilst having a quiet 5 minutes in the smallest room. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

when you get a big enough pile of books in there you will have somewhere to put your mug of coffee down on as well

I think this deserved far more recognition that it got

Have you ever read the Wool trilogy? It is one set of books that I've never forgotten - impossible to put down. Wool, Shift and Dust are the three books. Amazing. D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten
