WWW Wednesdays—June 15, 2011
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 The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth: Popularity, Quirk Theory, and Why Outsiders Thrive After High School by Alexandra Robbins. It's a really good read, and I think anyone who is a teacher or parent should probably read it for the insight it gives into how painful the teen years can be and what children that age are facing.
I know I said that I would read The Tempest next, but I am just not feeling up to it yet. I guess I want lighter fare as the summer begins. I will probably start The Paris Wife by Paula McClain next—perhaps not tonight, but tomorrow. It looks pretty good. It's told from the point of view of Hadley Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway's first wife.
I recently finished The Kitchen Daughter by Jael McHenry (review). Wonderful book! Highly recommended. I also finished A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter by William Deresiewicz (review) since last week. Summer means more time to read!
A side note: I am really enjoying seeing my map fill up for the Where Are You Reading Challenge. I am beginning to have a little bit more diversity in terms of setting than I had a few months ago. You can view my map in progress (you can click on the map and drag it around):
