papermoon Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) Well I keep another one of these over on my blog (which I can't advertise because I'm not at 20 posts yet ) but I don't get a lot of input from my blog-readers on what I've read unless I review it (and I don't always review everything). Thought I'd give this a go since everyone here seems interested in something! **** Currently Reading (actively) I Sing the Body Electric by Ray Bradbury Twilight of the Superheroes by Deborah Eisenberg Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (via DailyLit) Currently Set Aside How to Read A Book by Mortimer J Adler Finding Your Roots by Jeanne Westin Hopefully Reading Soon The Time-Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger Party of One by Anneli Rufus (and all kinds of others!) **** Those with asterisks (*) are reviewed on my blog; I'll come back and edit with plug links when I'm allowed. January 04: After the Quake by Haruki Murakami 11: Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami 19: The Bookwoman's Last Fling by John Dunning 21: Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter by Mario Vargas Llosa* 22: Who's Killing the Great Writers of America? by Robert Kaplow* February 11: The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco* 23: How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read by Pierre Bayard* 26: Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey by Margaret Peterson Haddix 29: Life of Pi by Yann Martel* March 06: Sword of Rome by Constance O'Banyon* 15: Four Letter Word edited by Joshua Knelman 18: Unsigned by Julie Kaewart 23: Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami* April 02: Once... by James Herbert* 21: Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M.

Actually I'm pretty impressed with my reading so far this year - I've had surgeries and three deaths in the family, so given that it's been pretty darn busy, I'm keeping up quite well! No one to impress but myself, I know, but I always try to read at least one more book than I did the previous year; it keeps me on my toes.
