I've already been busy reading for most of the day, which is good because I have a very busy evening ahead of me.
I'm reading my first George Eliot book right now, Middlemarch
. I'm really enjoying it even though it is a challenging (and long) book. I've been considering hosting a George Eliot challenge. If there is anyone interested in that please let me know. It would be a light challenge, probably only one book and a movie.
I'm also reading The Moon, Come to Earth: Dispatches from Lisbon
by Philip Graham. The book is a travelog about Graham's year in Lisbon with his wife and daughter. It's a quick read with some really beautiful passages and great questions about place and travel. I'm about halfway down with it.
I spent about nine hours reading yesterday (mostly homework) so I'm kind of taking a lighter day today. I have three meetings to go to tonight so I will be very busy for the rest of the day.
This week I plan on continuing the books I've already mentioned as well as finish The Lover
by Marguerite Duras. I will probably pick up another book but I haven't decided which yet.
