It will not come as a surprise to you when I say that reading is my favourite pastime. Reading is the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning and the last thing I do before turning off the lights at night. Unfortunately, I have a lot of other things to attend to in between....

I have read all kinds of books, from literature to historical fiction to psychological thrillers; from classics to contemporary bestsellers, both in English and in Dutch. My all-time favourite book so far is The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, but lately I have come under the spell of the books by Paul Auster, David Mitchell and Ian McEwan, so I may have another all-time favourite before long.
