On Sunday I read half of After Dark by Murakami, finished up The Chamber of Secrets on audio, and enjoyed watching the championship football games. I really like turning the sound down on the games and listening to an audiobook during the first half and then listening/watching the game during the second half. It feels like a better use of my time.
I’m still in the middle of Independent People by Laxness, The Wife by Undset, and a few pages into War and Peace. I need to finish Independent People for the From the Stacks Challenge and one more title, probably Silence by Endo, for the Japanese Literature Challenge until I can fully get into War and Peace. I’d love to get caught up with the group by finishing Volumes I and II by February 15.
I used to only be a one-book-at-a-time woman, but now I’m finding I enjoy having multiple books going on at once as long as I don’t let the time to finish a book take too long.
Happy reading!
I’ve seen a lot of people doing this Sunday Salon. Maybe I should join, too. Nothing like peer pressure to get you to do something you’re only on the fence about.
I really liked yours though. Keep ‘em coming!
