It's Monday -- What are You Reading?

 
  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 finished the following books:
  Books in Progress:
  I spent most of the week avoiding the television and its wall-to-wall Charlie Sheen coverage, but since Friday I haven't been able to stop watching the terrible scenes from Japan.  I can't imagine what the Japanese people are going through and wish I could do more than just keep them in my thoughts.

    Sounds like you had a good reading week. You're into Hemingway, it seems! I loved The Thirteenth Tale, read it years ago.

    Yes, the situation in Japan is terrible. It's so close to home in a way, it's a modern country, just like ours and it's hard to imagine what it is like for them at the moment.

    It looks like you had a great week! Hemingway remains one of those authors I know I should read but just haven't gotten around to yet. Ugh :/ Have you read anything by him before?

    It's insane what's happening in Japan right now. So difficult to imagine that many people gone forever...

    Avoiding TV helped I guess, you read a lot last week! This week's a Hemingway week?

    I read A Reliable Wife sometime last year and really enjoyed it ... not at all what I expected.

    I have Unbroken on my wishlist ... but then I always forget to buy it because something else catches my eye!

    Have a great week!

    I want to read Their Eyes Were Watching God - I just picked it up last week at a library sale :)

    I keep thinking I might read The Thirteenth Tale, but haven't got there yet. I guess somebody needs to read Hemingway...(not a fan here).

    I haven't been watching television (I don't in general), but have been keeping up with the coverage on Japan via internet. It seems like one thing just keeps following another. I hope things settle down so they can really start recovery.

    I read the Paris Wife a couple of weeks ago, which is a novel about Hemingway's first wife Hadley and their life in Paris. It's a great story and that got me interested in Hemingway's work during that period; the Classics Circuit is doing a tour featuring the Lost Generation and I will be posting about these two Hemingway books for it (watch for it on the 22nd!)

    I hope you like A Moveable Feast - it is one of my favorites from Hemingway! And I can't wait to read A Reliable Wife, too - I heard it's absolutely incredible!

What do you think? Good or bad, I'd love to hear from you (but be nice - I'm sensitive!)
