WWW Wednesdays is a weekly meme held over on Should be Reading. To play along just answer the following questions.
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?
Right now I’m trying to finish Cloud Atlas, by David Mitchell. It started off slowly and I nearly put it down but now I’m thankful I kept at it. It bogged down a bit near the middle but now I’m on the home-stretch and it’s been a wonderful ride. I highly recommend it.
I’m also reading Wheat Belly, by William Davis, MD. It’s basically a condemnation of what science and agriculture has done to wheat in the name of convenience and profit. I’m barely into it, but I have to say some of the arguments for eliminating wheat gluten (in nearly everything we eat) from your diet are compelling.
The last book I read was the very funny eBook, 101 Things to do Before the Apocalypse, by Jon Hanson. You should click on the image and go buy it today, it’s only $1.99 and would make a great Christmas gift for yourself or anyone you know who enjoys a good laugh. You can also read my review of it here on my blog.
The next thing I’ll read will likely be The Blade Itself, by Joe Abercrombie. It was recommended by a friend (thanks, Jeffery, if you’re reading this) and is a sort of dark-humor, fantasy offering, the first of three in a trilogy. I’m a sucker for trilogies.
Hey, dude! Good to see you on this meme! I saw “101 Things” mentioned on Studio30+ and want to check it out, too.
My list is at http://katybrandes.wordpress.com/2012/12/12/www-wednesday-december-12/.
Thanks! It’s a good one, I’ll definitely be chiming in regularly
Just finished reading George RR Martin’s “Dance with Dragons.” Currently reading a whole bunch of baby books. And I’ll probably read a whole bunch more baby books next, and maybe Cloud Atlas (because I want to read it before I watch the movie) and maybe Jasper Fforde’s “Well of Lost Plots” (because I’ve had it on the shelf for awhile now and it might be time to read something silly.)
HUGE Song of Fire & Ice fan here. Martin can’t write the next book fast enough!
Considering how long it took for book 5 to come out, I’m fearful over how long our wait for 6 is going to be. I’m hoping that having to get things scripted out for the HBO series will actually push him to get the next book out quicker.
Martin isn’t getting any younger! I’m hoping he finishes the next two before it’s too late >.<
