Smashwords Interview

What do you read for pleasure?
I have little time for off vocation reading but I do enjoy Daniel Silva thrillers with his fictional hero, Gabriel Allon.
I have been reading a number of period and historic novels to help me soak up the tone of a period I intend to cover in a future docu-fiction about a character, Dona Gracia, that lived a very special and heroic life in the 15th century.
My time is limited as I am busy with my advocacy and organisational work for Israel, my deep research into the second book of the trilogy of which 1917. From Palestine to the Land of Israel is the first book, and, of course, my family.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
Kindle.
