highlyeccentricWhat Are You Reading (Not On A) Wednesday:
• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?
What are you currently reading?
This is barely any different to last fortnighht or the fortnight before!
Work: Of Arthoure and Merlin, and the Riverside Chaucer. I just started the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales, so I'm trundling along. Working through King Horn (Anglo-Norman) again, transcribing and annotating the AN text of relevant laisses. Still annotating Stephen Jaeger's 'Ennobling Love'.
Fun: Making progress through Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. I'm halfway through! Good god. I have switched to reading on Kobo Desktop, as my e-reader's screen is borked. Good side: I can knit and read. Downside: my eyes hurt after a few hours. Apparently I stare more intently at novels onscreen than anything else, even Tumblr!
What did you recently finish reading?
No whole books, but I read a really useful chapter by Felicty Riddy, in the Cambridge Companion to Medieval Romance. I now have citations for late medieval companionate marriage ideals!
What do you think you'll read next?
The demography stuff Riddy cites. Ideally I'll go pick that up from UniMail today, and also pick up Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics from the Theology Library and some other books from the English library. Busy times!
