WWW Wednesday is a book meme run by Taking on a World of Words.
Each week we’re asked three questions –
- What are you currently reading?
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What do you think you’ll read next?
What are you currently reading?
Guess what? Infinite Jest.
Now that that obvious statement is out of the way (wow that seems harsh? Really, I’m enjoying it!) we can get to the other books. Of which there are two – Children of Dune, and A Gathering of Shadows.
Children is giving me some issues. I’m just not mentally able to read very serious books right now apparently? I enjoy the series, but I guess I have to be in a different state of mind.
What did you recently finish reading?
Because Children of Dune wasn’t going anywhere in my head, I picked up The Light Fantastic and Why Not Me? The first of which is the 2nd Discworld book, and was funny and delightful and made me snort laugh quite a bit.
Speaking of my utterly un-ladylike laughter- Why Not Me? By Mindy Kaling was responsible for a great deal over the last few days. The Kaling review is up and the Discworld one should be good to go…. soon?
What do you think you’ll read next?
I’m out of town most of the week so while I might finish A Gathering of Shadows sitting on planes, I’m not going to count on that happening. But if it does, and I find myself without hotel-room reading material, I’ll roll the die again and pick something off the Kindle. They’ve had some lovely $2 sales lately that have been right up my alley.
I’m desperately trying to stay off Amazon at the moment as there are loads of books I kind of want to read on sale 🙂

If The Light Fantastic made you snort you are going to love the rest of the series. For me, the first two books of the Discworld are among the weakest. It all only gets funnier as we meet the witches and the Nightwatch… ah…*sighs with nostalgia*.
I hope you can finish AGOS this week! 🙂

Why Not Me? is definitely a very entertaining read and I’m really looking forward to read A Darker Shade Of Magic myself!

I’ve only read Men At Arms from the Discworld series, but I recently bought The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic. I can’t wait to dive deeper into that series as well. So many books in that series alone though haha

Why Not Me? is on my tbr. I need to get around to reading A Darker Shade of Magic soon. At least when I do I won’t have to wait for the sequel, I suppose!
Thanks for visiting my WWW.
