WWW. WEDNESDAY asks three questions to prompt you to speak bookishly. To participate, and to see how other book lovers responded, click here.
PS I no longer participate in WWW.WEDNESDAY via that link because her blog won't accept Blogger comments. I mention this only to save you the frustration I experienced trying to link up.
1. What are you currently reading? The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I haven't read this in decades and so far I’m enjoying it immensely. I’m amazed at how different my reaction is to it as a woman of 60-something than it was when I was a more romantic teenage girl. It’s just as good, but it feels like a wildly different book to me now.
2. What did you recently finish reading? Leader of the Pack by David Rosenfelt. This was one of my favorites in the series (so far). Yes, I figured out the villain very early on and felt quite superior ... until I realized that I didn't even understand what was going on at all. So many twists and turns. Such a tight plot. YAY!
3. What will you read next? 12 Months to Live by James Patterson and Mike Lupica.
I have taught The Great Gatsby every year for years. I love the book, and my students love it too. It truly is a great American novel.
