It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

It's Monday, which means it's time to take stock of what we're reading with Sheila's meme, hosted at Book Journey. It's Monday; What Are You Reading? is 100 posts old today and Sheila is celebrating with a give-away!

This past week I actually read quite a lot, although I didn't get through everything I was planning on reading. This means that you guys can look forward to reviews this week (as long as I get a chance to, you know, write them).

What I Read Last Week:
-Dark Road to Darjeeling by Deanna Raybourn
-Where Do Comedians Go When They Die: Journeys of a Stand-Up by Milton Jones
-Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon
-Bossypants by Tina Fey

What I'm Currently Reading:
-Maskerade by Terry Pratchett
-Failed States by Noam Chomsky

What I'm Reading This Week:
-Coffee at Little Angels by Nadine Rose Larter (review requested by author)
-Dune by Frank Herbert
-The Book of Mordred by Vivian Vande Velde
-The Astronomer's Universe: Stars, Galaxies, and Cosmos by Herbert Friedman

I also watched the film Wonder Boys, and will be reviewing that in conjunction with the novel for a challenge I'm a little bit behind on.

Happy reading everyone!

  3. Interesting selection of books. I'm posting late this week because I've been on a trip to the mountains and out of reach of the internet. Please come see what I've read.

  4. Did you already write a review for Perelandra?

    I recently finished Dorian Gray and The first in the series for DoppelGanger. And right now I'm reading Fairer than Morning...and not too happily might I add. I'm so sick of romances...

  5. Another eclectic range of books. I loved Dune. I'm sure I've mentioned that to you before. I also liked Masquerade although it's not my favourite book starring the witches. Look forward to hearing what you think of Wonder Boys. A friend recommended it since I loved Kavalier and Clay so much. Of course I have as yet to pick it up.

  6. Except for my Goodreads books to read in a year challenge I'm way behind on everything! I've decided I'm better off just enjoying my reading and not worry about things.

  7. I don't comment on these posts but I always read them. I like the idea of listing what I am reading and will be reading but I shuffle books around so much that it is hard for me to keep up with what I'm reading this time versus next time. Truth is, I'd probably confuse myself if I tried to keep a list of what I'm reading from day to day let alone from week to week. :)
