I feel like I’ve been stumbling, barely conscious through this week so far—is it just me? Let’s hope this WWW Wednesday perks me up.
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 ARC for Moonlighting: An Oral History by Scott Ryan (and all I want to do is take a vacation from life and watch my DVDs now) and am listening to A Man With One of Those Faces by Caimh McDonnell, Morgan C. Jones (Narrator) on audiobook, one of those books I inexplicably kept putting off starting.
What did you recently finish reading?
I just finished Rob Parker’s A Wanted Man and Time and Tide by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audio—the theme of which left me in a funk (great book, though).
What do you think you’ll read next?
My next book should be The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson (which does not promise to be a feel-good read) and I have no idea what my next audiobook will be, DNF’ing something yesterday has thrown off my schedule.
Hit me with your Three W’s in the comments! (no, really, do it!)

I just finished reading “The Shell Seekers,” an classic old-fashioned family drama by Rosamond Pilcher. A great escape.
Currently I am 3/4 finished with “Van Gogh, the Life”, by Stephen Naifeh and Gregory White Smith, a 868 page (plus Appendix, Bibliography, and Notes) tome about the Western world’s probably favorite artist. Certainly have learned a lot about van Gogh, some of which debunks the popular vision of him. More than I really wanted to know, actually. But I have sworn to finish it.
I am also 3/4 finished with Graham Greene’s “The Power and the Glory”, a classic portrayal of a man trapped by his faith in a world without any.
Next I plan to read Kurt Vonnegut’s “Breakfast of Champions”, and for a non-fiction change of pace, “Stampede: Gold Fever and Disaster in the Klondike.” A good chilly book to read in the hot summer months.
