A weekly meme hosted by Sheila @ Book Journey.
This will be my last Monday meme check-in until after the holidays. I'll get a year-end post up on Friday. Can you believe...less than a week until Xmas?
Read This Week: (1)
The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History- John Ortved
A decent critical history of my favourite TV series. Review coming soon.
Currently Reading: (3)
Emma- Jane Austen
I'm about halfway through. It's a fun romp, though I still love Sense & Sensibility best and liked Pride & Prejudice better.
U2 by U2- U2 (Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen Jr.)
My Life- Bill Clinton
Reviews This Week: (3)
I got caught up a bit on backlog reviews:
The Count of Monte Cristo- Alexandre Dumas (A+)
The Old Man and the Sea- Ernest Hemingway (A)
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter- Carson McCullers (A)
Two more coming this week: It and Bag of Bones, both by Stephen King.
Next to Read:
This depends on when I finish Emma. If I finish it after Jan. 1, I can start a challenge book and I think I'll begin with Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. If I happen to finish it before Jan. 1, I'll probably try reading a chunk from my U2 and Bill Clinton books. Yikes, they're collecting dust! It's not that I don't enjoy them, but sometimes I just need a break from nonfiction and find escape in a novel.
Have a great reading week :)
You had a great week and have good reading plans coming up! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe Simpsons book sounds great. I love that show.
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been reading and reviewing a lot! My reviews have fallen off with all the busy-ness of the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI must read Emma this coming year, finally!
What challenges are you doing in 2012? I don't usually join any but am thinking of it this year.
