It’s time for WWW Wednesday, the weekly check-in where I get organized for 15 minutes!
This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived on Taking on a World of Words—and shown to me by Aurore-Anne-Chehoke at Diary-of-a-black-city-girl.
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
Easy enough, right?
What are you currently reading?
I’m reading The Library Murders by M. R. Mackenzie and am listening to Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth (Narrator).
What did you recently finish reading?
I just finished Chad Alan Gibbs’s The Rome of Fall and Persons of Interest by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audio.
What do you think you’ll read next?
My next book should be As The Stars Fall by Steve N. Lee and Skeleton Key by Anthony Horowitz, Simon Prebble (Narrator) on audiobook.
Hit me with your Three W’s in the comments! (no, really, do it!)

I just (I mean, an hour ago) finished re-reading “Milkman”, Anna Burns’ Booker prize winning novel about the Irish troubles. This is one of those prize winning books that many people hate. I admired it and enjoyed it a lot. Here’s a link to my Amazon review: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2UGLC1PFKRWTP?ref=pf_ov_at_pdctrvw_srp
I also just finished “A Most Dangerous Book” by Christopher Krebs, an academic study of how a few sentences in a political pamphlet by a first-century AD Roman historian were used, abused, warped, and twisted into a justification for Hitler’s genocides. My Amazon review is here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2PANR9EKO0CQP/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=0393342921
I’ve just begun reading “Sailing the Wind-Dark Sea: Why the Greeks Matter”, part of the “Hinges of History” series by Thomas Cahill. I greatly enjoyed the first book in the series (by publication date, not chronology) “How the Irish Saved Civilization” and I expect I will enjoy this one too, as well as learning a lot.
Next I plan to read Chris Wallace’s new book “Countdown 1945” because my husband, who is something of a World War II buff, recommends it with unusual enthusiasm.
And I will probably read some fluffy fiction also, but I haven’t found it yet.

Loved Cahill’s How the Irish, I’ve got to check out the Greeks book!

I finished up the Great Divorce, am currently reading Master and Margarita and have The Most Dangerous Game next on tap.
I am finding that I like modern Russian classics about as much as I do American and European. That is to say, I am finding it complete trash and not worth even toilet paper…
