I’ve just started reading The Wager. I’m a sucker for ship based media, and I’m hoping this’ll be no exception.
It’s my third book of the year after previously reading both A Clash of Kings and How to get rid of a president

I’m re-reading the Lord of the Rings for the first time since I was about 14. Loving it!
I have that same kobo, do you not flip it when you’re holding it in your left hand? I find it so much more comfortable!
I’m laaaaazy as sin when I’ve finally got the kids to bed so I usually hold it in my right hand and then operate the thing by pressing the buttons with the same hand. If I have to move my left for anything other than moving my drink to my mouth I consider this a loss.
Maximum efficiency
By chance, I’m doing more or less the same as you. I initially read lotr when I was ~15 yo (I’m nearly 40 now). I also read it in French those years ago but I’m rereading now the real thing in English. Loving it too.
I remember when I read it the first time I was struggling with some of the dense description but it doesn’t bother me now (or I haven’t got to that bit yet)!
It makes me wonder if I’d enjoy Brave New World more as an adult, we were made to read it at school by our RE teacher (when we were about 15/16) and I found it so dreary :D
Brave new world is definitely a book you get different things from as an adult. It’s also a pretty quick read. I’d definitely recommend taking another look.
