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?
Here are my answers for this week:
What are you currently reading? I am currently reading Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. I’m a little more than halfway through it. My to reasons for reading it are that Monday was the 200th anniversary of its publication, and I wanted to read this first before reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which i figured would make more sense if I was familiar with the original. It’s fairly enjoyable, I guess, but not normally what I would choose to read.
What did you recently finish reading? I recently finished 11/22/63 by Stephen King. It is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. It’s quite long, but really needed to be to do the story justice. However, it didn’t seem that long once I got into it.
What do you think you’ll read next? I’m not that sure as it depends on when I get my current book finished. I’m going away this weekend to watch my daughter swim in a competition, then I’m off on retreat at the start of next week for 4 days in Niagara Falls. So, I’m hoping to get a few books read during that time.
I love your second reason for reading Austen! That’s probably the only reason I’d pick it up, too. My list is at http://katybrandes.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/www-wednesday-january-30/. Have a great trip!
Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books! And I also recommend reading the original before reading a mashup or adaptation…I did that with Jane Eyre and The Eyre Affair I think it made Eyre Affair that much more enjoyable for me.
My WWW Wednesday is here.
Haven’t read Pride and Prejudice but I should really pick it up soon. Oh, I remember I started reading 11/22/63 last year, I can’t remember why I didn’t finish it. Ugh! Thanks for sharing!
Here’s my WWW Wednesdays post this week.
