Weekly meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.

To play along, 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?

What are you currently reading?

I just started Lee Child’s 61 Hours and it’s as great as his others that I’ve read!

What did you recently finish reading?

I’ve recently finished two Audrey Niffenegger novels in a row: The Time Traveler’s Wife followed closely by Her Fearful Symmetry. I much preferred the first.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Well, I have Mr. Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American Dream, by Steven Watts, waiting for me on my desk at home. It’s a library book (from the public library, not my library), so it has a deadline attached to it. That should definitely come up soon. I dabble in The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien and This Book is Overdue! by Marilyn Johnson here and there; I pick them up and put them down around the house. Perhaps one of those will get full-time treatment one day. But it’s always a crapshoot to see what I’ll read next! I’m still interested in Emma Donoghue’s Room, too, but I’m not sure I can stomach the maternalism at this moment (see an earlier post).

I have to confess I’m not feeling strongly motivated to read anything particular right now, so Lee Child and the like are suiting me just fine. Things are fixin’ to get a little crazier, too: it’s time to start training in earnest for our annual mountain bike trip to Terlingua, TX in February, and the spring race season; and I start a class in Database Searching next week. Fingers crossed that I can keep up with it all and still keep in touch with you! I’m optimistic, though. Even if nothing else, I have my lunch breaks, a glorious hour of uninterrupted reading, ahh. And road trips to races provide some reading time if the Husband-Driver allows me to zone out. 🙂 He’s really very good to me.
