It's Monday - What are you Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at bookjourney to allow us to share with others in the book-loving cyberworld what is on our reading plates.
This week I completed:
- The Stranger by Albert Camus (for my Classics book group)
- The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People who Read Them by Elif Batuman
- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows (for my book group tonight -- a beloved re-read)
- We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver
- Ulysses by James Joyce (it's interesting, but so d*mn frustrating!)
- The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman
- Fly Away Home by Jennifer Weiner
What are you reading this week?
Hey you, I'm currently reading Chains of Ice. I hope to finish by midday. Happy Reading. See Ya!
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice mixture of books there. I can see why you would read Weiner at the same time as Joyce: it makes it more bearable!

I need to read the Potato Peal one..... I have had it a long time. AND I have to see your review of Kevin!
ReplyDeleteHave a super week ;)
After reading Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society, you need to see Island at War, an older Masterpiece Theater production about the German occupation of the Channel Islands. If you have netflix, it's easily available.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read your review of We Need to Talk About Kevin. I finished it recently and it had a really significant effect upon me. I also have The Guernsy book on my TBR shelf - Ill get around to it one of these days!
ReplyDeleteNancy -- thanks for the recommendation -- I'm off to put it on my netflix queue right away!
ReplyDeleteSheila and Becky -- I hope to have a review for We Need to Talk About Kevin up this week, crazy workload permitting. And I can't highly recommend Guernsey enough. It is a wonderful little book that will make you feel like giving it a great big hug when you are finished.
Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is one of my favorite hand sell.
ReplyDeleteWow; what a great reading week .. and it reminds me that I need to re-read "The Stranger"!!
