Flu

"Some people experience a reaction to the flu vaccine, a bit like a mild dose of flu. This is nothing to be concerned about. Take paracetemol for it."

I was given a health warning. I am one of "those people". It must be about 2 years since I had a sick day. 

A good book is what I needed at various times during the day. Something light. An easy read. My house is bulging with books, far too many waiting to be picked up or in the "must get back to" pile. 

It turns out none of them could be classed as light reading. 

I bought the Ulitskaya book because the cover claims she is one of Russia's "most famous writers" and I had never heard of her. It is fine, but 10-20 pages at a time unless on a train or plane.
