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 only finished one book: Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling by Ross King. I'm hoping to make it to my non-fiction book group to discuss it.
Books in progress:
- The Best European Fiction 2010 edited by Aleksandar Hemon
- Great House by Nicole Krauss
- War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy (I've finished Volume I, Part 1!)
My parents are still visiting after a quiet Thanksgiving with them and my in-laws. On Thursday we are all heading up to Toronto to celebrate the first birthday of my twin nieces which will be a lot of fun.
What are you reading this week?
Ooh, I've never been to Toronto...but I've always thought it seemed lovely (from pictures). I've only seen the provinces on the western side.
ReplyDeleteI loved War and Peace, but it's been many years...and it's a long one.
Great House has captured my attention.
Here's my week:

Congrats on cracking War & Peace :) I'm curious about Great House & can't wait to hear what you think of it. No Monday meme for me today...it would be identical to last week :(
ReplyDeleteI have never read War and Peace! I think you are my reading hero this week! :) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with War and Peace. It's on my to be read list but not in the immediate future. :)
ReplyDeleteNot much on my plate this week as I'm writing papers. Here's what I'm reading this week.
I started War & Peace once...I don't know that I'll ever get around to trying it again for a finish. Good luck with it!
ReplyDeleteHre's my Monday: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2010/11/its-monday-what-are-you-reading_29.html
Thanks for all of the War&Peace encouragement!
ReplyDeleteGreat House is interesting so far. There's a bit of mystery involved that I haven't figured out yet, so it is keeping me involved in the story.
