I'm reading 3 books. I try to stick to one at a time but that just isn't working right now.
1. The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien
2. The Lost City of Z - David Gran; This is my book club book for August. Way out of the realm of what we normally read. Not really enjoying as it reads too much like a textbook for my tastes.
3. The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo - Stieg Laresen; I'm only a few pages into this one.
Jill, I try to stick to one at a time as well. If I have to focus on more than that, I start mixing up characters and plots!
How are you finding The Hobbit? I read it way back in middle school, but I feel it's one of those that needs a re-read (along with about 893403284 more!).
I've never read the Hobbit, though I've tried to pick it up a few times. My husband is always bugging me to read it so I gave in. I'm definitely taking my time and only read it while I'm in the mood.
This time around is going much better.
Also, edit to my earlier post, I totally spelt Larsson's name wrong! How embarrassing?
Have you ever read The Lord of the Rings series? Another "classic" series that I've seemed to have missed out on. I haven't seen the movies either...don't really have a desire to read or see.
Loved Crazy in Alabama! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Great list. I read One Mississippi by Childress and really enjoyed it.
