Currently Reading

(My reading list is a mess. I have the bad habit of getting about 50 pages into a book, and then getting distracted by another book. As a result, I usually end up juggling several books at one time, slowly nibbling away at each of them.

Many of the books I start reading, I never finish. If I finish any of these books, I will post a review on this blog. If I quietly abandon any of these books, they will disappear from this list in the middle of the night.)
