What are you currently reading?

More or less the same as last fortnight, actually, except I've picked up Alice Monro's Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories and am a few stories in. I'm finding each story quite compelling, and I enjoy her deft touch for describing landscapes, but I haven't yet got a sense of the book as a whole.

What did you recently finish reading?

Aside from 'a friend's chapter on the Roman de la Rose' (useful but a bit simplistic, as she warned me when she gave it me), and the Clerk's Tale (wahey, spousal abuse!), we have...

The Marriage PlotThe Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Not as good as it could have been )

What do you think you'll read next? I've just got the booklist for the high school exams I'm marking, so Raymond Carver and Tracy Chevalier lie in my future...
