I wish I had more time to sit in a bookshop or a library to look through and read up interesting books. Once such an avid reader - Mum would tell me to stop reading, because I couldn't do anything else once absorbed in a book - I now find it hard to set aside time for a bit of quiet reading time. What a shame. There are such nice bookshops in Paris, as well.
