Book you're currently reading?

Recommended Posts

I'm reading Marcovaldo by Italo Calvino for my course of Italian letterature. Then I'll have another Italian novel for that course, followed by some antique literature (we're talking about Homer, Virgil, Ovid etc.) for another course. Perhaps I can pick something to read myself on the Christmas break? I do find these books interesting, though.

I'm currently rereading Brandon Sanderson's The Final Empire and, because I felt like it, started a reread of the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik. I am now in book 7 after three weeks 😁

Something called "non-baby boom" from one of my native author.

It's about why some ppl might not get children at all these days, really interesting.

I just finished Good Omens the other day. It was more enjoyable than I thought it would be. But I am re-reading through Doctor Sleep.

I'm reading The Orc King by R.A.Salvatore. I'm trying to get all caught up in the Drizzt story line and I think I still have about 10 books to go. (Also notice the similarities between Drizzt and Drizzm? Yeah, I'm not great at making up names)

Ooh. That's one I have not yet read! Great series.

 

I'm reading Russian Winter by Daphne Kalotay, interspersed with sections of Rachel Maddow's Blowout.

The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens. I am only up to chapter two at the moment, but may it be said that reading older works does wonders for inspiration!

Finally got around to starting The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli.

 

It's one of those classics I've always wanted to read. :)

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. That's for my literature courses, again. After this book I'm going to read Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, Camille by Alexandre Dumas the younger and either a collection of short stories by Jorge Luis Borges or Italo Calvino's If on a Winter's Night a Traveler. I may go for those short stories for now since I think I'd prefer the Calvino in Italian (these all are Finnish translations). I have to say... studying literature isn't the easiest thing now that all the libraries have been closed. Luckily my mother works in one so she could smuggle some books to me. :D Although it was a bit of a struggle to find ones that the teacher would approve because apparently, many of the classics had been hoarded by desperate reading addicts.
