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?
I am currently reading A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter by William Deresiewicz. He has divided the chapters into life lessons he learned from each of the six major novels by novel title and lesson, and I am currently in the chapter about Persuasion, which might be my favorite Jane Austen book. I really love Pride And Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. I'm not sure I like the author all that much. The book is part memoir, part literary criticism, and his descriptions of himself are quite candid.
I recently finished The Secret Diary of a Princess by Melanie Clegg. It is a novel about Marie Antoinette's later childhood leading up to her marriage with the future Louis XVI—an interesting peek into the Viennese court.
I think the next thing I will read will be The Kitchen Daughter by Jael McHenry (my sidebar says I'm already reading it, but I haven't really started it yet) and perhaps The Tempest. I do need to finally read The Dream of Perpetual Motion by Dexter Palmer.
