To play along with this weekly book event, hosted by Should Be Reading, just answer the following three (3) questions…
• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?
My answers this week:
What are you currently reading? Currently I am reading The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan. I am about half-way through it and pretty much enjoying it. There are several movie versions of this story which have been made, but the only one I have seen is the Alfred Hitchcock one, which I don’t remember much of. According to one of my friends today, it is not a very good representation of the story, so it’s good that I don’t remember much of it.
What did you recently finish reading? Two books I finished in the past week are Behemoth (Scott Westerfeld) and The Martian Chronicles (Ray Bradbury). Behemoth is the second in Westerfeld’s Leviathan trilogy. Hopefully I’ll get the third one, Goliath, soon. It’s a very good series and I’ve really been enjoying the steampunk theme and imagery. I loved The Martian Chronicles and am wondering why it took me so long to getting around to reading it. I recently saw a graphic novel version of it at Chapters that I’m tempted to go and buy.
What do you think you’ll read next? I’m thinking about reading The Book Thief (Markus Zusak) next, although I haven’t really decided. I also have some other books on the go that need to be finished, so I’ll see where my mood takes me.
i read leviathan and just couldn’t get into it. steampunk is not for me i guess. i really want to read the book thief!
Yeah, I understand that. I can see how steampunk wouldn’t be everyone’s thing. My daughter has been nagging me to read the Book Thief for a while now, but I am looking forward to reading it, too. Thanks for stopping by.
I’ve been putting off reading The Book Thief for a while too – hopefully I’ll get to it one day :0) And The Leviathan trilogy is on my radar too.
My Wife just finished The Book Theif and loved it, think I’ll be picking it up shortly too
Read The Book Thief a couple of years ago and really liked it.
Oh The Book Thief is beautiful, such poetically written. Hope you enjoy & thanks for stopping by.
OH, The Book Thief is SO good! You should definitely read it next.
Based on everyone’s comments, I think I’m going to have to read The Book Thief next! Thanks, everyone!
