My ISP has been down all week, making it hard for me to Work from Home. So I got a lot of reading in on Monday, not quite as much on Tuesday (kept getting distracted watching my router to see if the red blinking light would turn green). Who knows what today will bring?

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 Annihilation Aria by Michael R. Underwood, Batman: City of Crime by David Lapham, Ramón F. Bachs, Nathan Massengill and am listening to The Warden and the Wolf King by Andrew Peterson on audiobook.
What did you recently finish reading?
I just finished Carrie Vaughn’s Kitty’s Mix-Tape, Josie Jaffrey’s May Day, Jack Meggitt Phillips’s The Beast and the Bethany (illustrated by Isabelle Follath), Starlight by Mark Millar and Goran Parlov, and Child of Fire by Harry Connolly, Daniel Thomas May (Narrator) on audio.
What do you think you’ll read next?
My next book should be Silent Bite by David Rosenfelt and Murder by Other Means by John Scalzi, Zachary Quinto (Narrator) on audiobook.
So, that’s my WWW, what are yours?

I just finished reading “The Nickel Boys” by Colson Whitehead, which won him his second Pulitzer Prize. Don’t be intimidated by the jacket flaps – it’s not as tough a read as it might have been – Colson spares us the details of sadism and sodomy – and the end is a jewel.
I’m relaxing by re-reading Dorothy Sayers’ “Have His Carcase”, one of my favorite of her Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries. I NEARLY remember how it works out, and still it’s fun to wander along the British resort coast with Lord Peter. I’m also reading “Sailing the Wine-dark Sea” by Thomas Cahill, which leads to my
Next planning to read “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey” if I can only decide which translation to use. Any thoughts?

Latimore is the Iliad on my shelf, due solely to it being the translation a prof required. Sayers is one of those authors I’ve been meaning to get to for forever. Does it matter where to start? Or just with whatever is handy? You mentioned the Cahill a couple of weeks back, how is it?
(probably good if it’s inspiring a Homer read)
