Happy τ Day, everyone! Or at least for those who write their dates like we do in the States. Happy 28/6 everyone else, I guess. I’d better shut up about number things, because while I’m not The Worst with them, I can see it from where I’m standing. Let’s just move on to books.

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 Worst We Can Find: MST3K, RiffTrax, and the History of Heckling at the Movies by Dale Sherman and fighting the urge to do nothing but watch MST3K for the next week. And I just started the three-week voyage* that will be listening to Dark Age by Pierce Brown narrated by: Tim Gerard Reynolds, John Curless, Moira Quirk, James Langton & Rendah Heywood on audiobook so I can be ready for Light Bringer‘s release next month.
* That’s hyperbole.**
** I hope.
What did you recently finish reading?
I just finished Reed Farrel Coleman’s Sleepless City (and am still reeling!) and the perfectly pleasant Posthumous Education by Drew Hayes, Kirby Heyborne (Narrator) on audio.
What do you think you’ll read next?
My next book should be the UF Pure of Heart by Danielle Parker, a Literary Local, and my next audiobook should be Chaos Choreography by Seanan McGuire, Emily Bauer (Narrator), I’ve gotten behind a bit in my re-listening.
How’re you wrapping up June?

I”m currently reading Geraldine Brooks’ “Horse”, a fine historical mashup of three different points of view, all focused on “the greatest thoroughbred stallion in American History”. I’m also reading “Lost” by Daniel Mendelsohn, a large book in small print about his search for relatives vanished in the Holocaust. And I still have several short stories to go in Nadine Gortimer’s “Jump”, and several essays to go in Ann Patchett’s charming collection “These Precious Days.”
I finished re-reading Louisa May Alcott’s “Eight Cousins” and the sequel “Rose in Bloom” both quaintly charming and morally prescriptive in a way that seldom seems preachy (though they edge close now and then.).
Next I might read William Faulkner’s “Intruder in the Dust” which I picked up from the Book Cart, figuring it is likely about to be banned for use of the n word.
