The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

Seems easy enough, right? Let’s take a peek at this week’s answers:

What are you currently reading?

Starship Troopers
by Robert A. Heinlein
The Best Dog in the World: Essays on Love
edited by Alice Hoffman
Unread: A Memoir of Learning (and Loving) to Read on TikTok
by Oliver James, read by James Shippy

I’ve heard countless times that the movie is different than Heinlein’s novel. And boy howdy, everyone was right. I think I’m liking the book–but Heinlein had some issues.

I think I made the right call reading The Best Dog in the World one essay at a time–if I’d gone cover-to-cover, it probably would’ve taken a day, and I’d have been checked out for most of it. Still enjoying it.

I’m digging Unread–I’d like a little more depth and a little less repetition, but it’s still a solid read.

What did you recently finish reading?

Cover of Booked by Alison Gaylin Cover of Cultish by Amanda Montell
Robert B. Parker’s Booked
by Alison Gaylin
Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism
by Amanda Montell, read by Ann Marie Gideon

I think Gaylin tapped into a big trait (some would say flaw) of Sunny in a solid way in this book that Parker and Lupica didn’t. It was a fun read, too.

Last week, I said I was picking up Cultish because of Mrs. Irresponsible Reader. I didn’t tell her that, though, which is good, because I don’t have a lot of good things to say.

What do you think you’ll read next?

After the Fall
by Edward Ashton, read by John Pirhalla

I’ve been trying to get to Remington Platypus since the end of December. Finally! (The BookTempter’s TBR Challenge is helping)

I’m a little worried that After the Fall is going to be one of those books that’s better for my eyes than the ears, but I want to give it a shot.

Have you been reading anything good lately?
