(a friend sent this to me last week – I thought it was fitting)
I’m going to be lazy today – but I DO actually want to know the answer to this question…
What are you reading RIGHT NOW (even if you’re embarrassed about it, even if it’s not good)?
Unputdownables
Breasts: a natural and unnatural history
This looks quite interesting–how is it? Good?
This one is on my to read next list as well. Do you like it so far?
I’m currently reading Lauren Groff’s Arcadia and am loving it. However, It does stink reading all that hippyness on the way to work and then having to actually go to work.
I almost made it through Arcadia. I have about an hour left on Audio and I keep forgetting to turn it on when I go for a longer drive… now I’m worried I won’t remember what was happening.
Johnny Cash Autobiography.
Love Johnny Cash. I bet that’s an interesting one.
the art of fielding
Liking it? I hear it’s kind of hard to get into, but then it moves well.
Shark Dialogues by Kiana Davenport, and The Running Dream by Wendalin van Draanen.
Two that I’ve never heard of – I’ll have to look them up!
The Women by TC Boyle and Beautiful Ruins
I hear Beautiful Ruins is… wait for it… beautiful. Let me know what you think.
Diving Belles by Lucy Wood and my O magazine ( I finally got my copy in the post). Although I’m tempted to stop reading Diving Belles and pick up my copy of The Age of Miracles. Hmmm.
I’m reading The Age of Miracles slowly (along with other things). It’s very interesting. Doesn’t pull me keep me keep turning pages, but I’m interested in the concept.
Reading Midlife Crisis at 30….super interesting!
I haven’t heard of it – will have to look it up. I remember The Quarter Life Crisis, I wonder if it’s similar.
“The Family Fang” by Kevin Wilson. It’s such a fun read!
I have that one on my pile waiting to be read. I can’t decide if it will be super strange, depressing, or what. But fun is good! Now I’m more tempted to pick it up.
It’s maybe a bit strange and slightly depressing, but the writing is really lively and vibrant, and I am loving every inch of it! Definitely pick it up
RIGHT NOW I am reading blogs. Heh.
After I clear out Google Reader, though, I will be reading Dancing Girls, a book of short stories written by Margaret Atwood.
I have yet to read Margaret Atwood – maybe this would be a good place to start?
I failed miserably at the Margaret Atwood project. Haven’t even finished The Edible Woman. Just too much to read and not enough time.
Lengths by Steph Campbell and Liz Reinhardt
Sex and the City by Candace Bushnell (it’s not that good)
Yeah, I remember trying SATC when the show started years and years ago and thinking it was terrible. The show is completely different.
Babel Tower by A.S. Byatt. It’s scaryamazing!
Intriguing… scaryamazing, huh? That’s ALWAYS good.
Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco, an intriguing read thus far.
Cemetery… is it creepy? (Sometimes I like creepy).
Oooh, I bought that one awhile back. Can’t wait to read it!
I’m finally reading Walden and just starting Ann Patchett’s State of Wonder.
I’ve never read Walden (shame on me) and State of Wonder is in the pile by my bed… I hear it’s pretty wonderful.
Love the cartoon. I’m reading “The Three Coffins” by John Dickson Carr. It’s supposed to be the greatest of locked-room mysteries. We’ll see.
I’m working on The Count of Monte-Cristo~ I wasn’t sure how I felt about it at first, but the pace is picking up and I’m really enjoying it.
“The Importance of Being Earnest” by Oscar Wilde and “The Story of Beautiful Girl” by Rachel Simon!
Half Blood Blues – Esi Edugyan
I’m halfway and have been enjoying it!
A Partial History of Lost Causes. It alternates between two narrators, one I love and one I find soooo tedious. I keep thinking of stopping but then it alternates back to the character I care about!
The Cider House Rules by John Irving, Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, and trying to finish this book on writing and tackle some of these review books this month.
Bahaha, best e-card ever. I’m reading The Count of Monte Cristo and then re-reading Catching Fire when my brain needs a break.
Currently re-reading Brian Lumley’s amazing Necroscope series. Telepathic mind-wars between vampires and humans set in the midst of the cold-war. Why these books were never filmed is beyond me – like an R-rated Harry Potter.
Mainly because my wife has stolen the Kindle. I leant it to her to read the Hunger Games series, and now she won’t give it back – she’s currently reading the Fire And Ice series – a great crime saga set in Iceland if you don’t know it.
