It's Monday! What Are You Reading?


This is a book meme by Sheila from Book Journey where we all share what we have been reading and what we plan on reading next.

Last week I read;

The Book of Dave by Will Self. A fantastically original dystopian. I highly recommend this.

Just now I am reading:

The Three Musketeers by Alenadre Dumas. I am reading this for the classics challenge. Loving it but I'm not that far into it.


Ghost Town by Rachel Caine. I decided to read a lighter book at the same time. This is one of the few YA that survived my cull. Not the best of the series but it is a light, entertaining read.

Next I plan to read;


The Kraken Wakes by John Wyndham. I plan on reading this for the sci fi challenge. Not sure if I will get onto it this week but it will be my next book. Since reading Dreamcatcher this is now the oldest book on my tbr pile. Been a long time since I read a Wyndham so looking forward to it.

What have you been reading?

    1. It really does. I have to confess I purchased it mainly for that reason.

  2. Right now I'm reading, in no particular order:

    1 textbook for school
    Being and Nothingness by Sartre
    Lit by Mary Karr
    6 books as part of my "morning books" reading
    The Philosophy of the Beats by Sharin Elkholy

    The above plus a few graphic books (1 novel and 1 memoir) plus about to start another memoir and that's pretty much what I'm reading.

    1. Wow Satia, I always admire people who can read several books at once. I generally need to keep my attention to one. Mainly because I feel guilty when one receives more attention that the other. Impressive

  3. The Book of Dave has such a great cover, and The Three Musketeers is such a great book. Haven't read The Kraken Wakes, but Wyndham is always an interesting read.

  6. Sometimes we get like that. The main thing is that you are enjoying what you are reading.

  7. I love your Kraken cover! I have an old Penguin edition with the orange spine. I am sort of hoping The Book People do a John Wyndham set and I will be all over it.
