I like big books and I cannot lie

I've set myself the goal of reading Ada Palmer's Inventing the Renaissance this week, hopefully reading the bulk of it while here in Lisbon. My family bought it for me for Father's Day and I've been saving it specially.

Forty-five

It's a bit of a coincidence that the main protagonist in both the last book I read and the current book I'm reading are both the same age as me. Our Man in Havana by Graham Greene was absolutely fantastic, and I'm enjoying the modern James Bond novel Solo by William Boyd so far.
