I have so many books on the go at the moment, especially on Goodreads, far too many… I like having multiple books on the go, but it is getting a tad ridiculous now! My aim is to shorten the list this year… we hope!
These are the books I currently have on the go:
- There But For The – Ali Smith
- Hawthorn and Child – Keith Ridgway
- Twelfth Night – William Shakespeare
- Richard II – William Shakespeare
- Evening Primrose – Kopano Matlwa
- A Tale of Two Cities – Charles Dickens
- The Refugees – Viet Thanh Nguyen
- Sunshine – Melissa Lee-Houghton
- American Gods – Neil Gaiman
- The Divine Comedy – Dante
- The Picture of Dorian Gray – Oscar Wilde
- Les Miserables – Victor Hugo
- The Exact Opposite of Okay – Laura Steven
Believe it or not, there are more listed as ‘currently reading’ on Goodreads, but I’m not really. I haven’t picked them up in ages and I don’t really intend to. I mean, some of those in the above list I haven’t picked up in a while and won’t for a while yet (my copy of The Divine Comedy is at home so I definitely won’t read any until Easter at the earliest) but I have good intentions. I’m sure there are other too that I have started and not added to Goodreads, and hence forgotten I have started!
What are you currently reading? Do you prefer to read one book at a time or have more than one (maybe not as many as me because my list is a bit too long to be honest!)?
Les Misérables is such a difficult, but wonderful read. I finished it in less than one sumer
I’m really enjoying it, but I haven’t had enough time to sit and finish it recently. I really want to though!
Since I was in college, only had time in between semesters to read so had no choice but to read it in limited amount of time. The musical helped me understand what was going on in the book
I have exactly the same problem! And the musical is so wonderful as well.
I wrote in songs where they are in the book. Good luck with finishing it. I am obsessed with Les Mis.
That’s a good idea! Haha me too
Since you know the musical, use that knowledge to help you get through the book
