| Should Be Reading |
What I’m reading now:
Old Filth by Jane Gardam ---I have been reading this book for one and a half months. I like the story fine. I like the writing style. I have no idea why it feels like drudgery to read it. But I am within 40 pages of the end and I WILL FINISH IT TODAY.
What I’m listening to now on audiobooks:
The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood---a dystopian novel in a very Atwood-ish style, which means that it is a rather joyless story with brilliant writing. I’d probably do better reading this book than listening to it since I've been listening to it for a week and I'm not even half way done.
What I recently finished reading:
They Called Themselves the KKK by Susan Campbell Bartoletti---very factual, interesting, and disturbing book about the genesis and evolution of the Ku Klux Klan. It is immaculately researched and has lots of illustrations and photos.
What I will be Reading Next:
The Man in the Wooden Hat by Jane Gardam---the companion book to Old Filth. This is this month’s book club selection so I definitely need to finish it by next Wednesday. Best get right on it.
What I Wish I Had Time to Read:
Monster of Men by Patrick Ness---It is sitting right here, right next to me, calling out to me. I am anxious to dive in to this book, the third book in the Chaos Walking Trilogy.
What are you reading right now? What have you recently completed? Wish you had time to read?
