What Are You Reading Wednesday
Feb. 26th, 2014 11:28 pmWhat Are You Reading 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? Hey this changed this week! I started a collection of Katherine Mansfield short stories, and am enjoying them thoroughly. They're giving me an odd sort of sideways homesickness - it has been too long since I was last in New Zealand. I'm also making further headway with Lina et le foret des sortileges, and I started Beowulf again - working from Liuzza's // text, with no gloss, for added amusement! I'm following the MA Beowulf seminar, you see. My Hons Beowulf seminar was definitely higher expectation than these, in terms of language at least.
What did you recently finish reading? Finally finished off Arthour and Merlin. Very long, mostly battles. Reread the Miller's Tale for the first time in a long while, much fun therein. And also I read most of an edited collection of essays called The English Loathly Lady Tales, which was fantastic and thought-provoking.
I finished a leisure book, too!
Susannah Clarke, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell: ( Slow start, great fun )
What do you think you will read next? Hard to say, hard to say. I have to get my head into the 'zone' for my next chunk of academic writing; I have some essays on mysticism to read; and I plan on reading the Katherine Group saints' lives. For fun... it will be a toss-up between a light bit of modern Arthuriana from the to-read list, and 'Dear John, I Love Jane', a collection of essays about women leaving men for women.
