You may have noticed something different about today – I posted my book review much earlier than usual! That’s because for the first half of this week, I have the opportunity to work from home, which means I am going to save a lot of time commuting and during my lunch break. So, to take advantage of this opportunity, I thought it would be good to spend a week rereading the books I have and appreciating them.

After all, while the TBR list is never-ending, it makes no sense for me to own books that I don’t touch. So rereading week it is!

Today, I wanted to go back to a classic, something that would lift my spirits. And so, I picked up Pyramids (I’m almost, but not quite done, which is amazing considering how little I’ve been reading!). Pyramids is one of the standalone Discworld books, as Teppic, a newly minted assassin, realises his father has died and therefore he’s now the Pharoah of Djelibeybi. The late Pharoah, on the other hand, is discovering that death brings a lot of clarity but also doesn’t let him communicate with other people.

As expected, I’m really enjoying this. Pratchett has managed to work in a lot of references to philosophy and maths, including the concept of pi and Zeno’s paradox. Of course, being Pratchett, he makes fun of all of that.

Given that this experiment is limited to the time I have to work from home, I’m not sure how many books I will be able to reread. So it’s going to be a challenge to pick books that I will enjoy and won’t take too long; hopefully deciding what to read does not take too long!

P.s. I also managed to bake a cake today (sadly blocked in the header picture) but it wasn’t very successful which means I’m going to talk about it.
