When I was asked to write for Meanjin\’s author series, What I\’m Reading, I was slightly intimidated. As an author I should probably be reading all the time. And although I wish I was, it just doesn\’t happen. I generally manage to squeeze in half an hour every couple of days (if I\’m lucky), between working and writing and running around after two small sprogs. Sometimes it takes me weeks to finish a book…
But then it occurred to me that I am reading regularly. In fact I\’m reading constantly, in a slightly erratic fashion, for research. Currently, I\’m writing and researching my third novel. It features a piano and I spend many enjoyable hours dipping in and out of piano related books. In the end, these books formed the inspiration for my Meanjin article. Why not take a look…
