WWW: Wednesdays

WWW: Wednesdays which is hosted by MizB ofver at Should Be Reading. This is a weekly meme that I have been participating in for over a year now.

To play along just answer the following three questions....

*What are you currently reading?
*What did you just recently finish reading?
*What do you think you'll read next?

Current:
Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne: is narrated by the title character in a series of digressions and interruptions that purportedly show the "life and opinions" — part of the novel's full title — of Tristram. Composed of nine "Books" originally published between 1759-1767, the novel has more to do with Shandy family members and their foibles and history than it seemingly does with Tristram himself. However, it is through Tristram's relating the actions, beliefs, and opinions of his family members — primarily his father, Walter Shandy, and his paternal Uncle Toby — that the reader gets a clearer picture of Tristram's character.

Read Since the Last WWW: Wednesday (click titles for reviews):
Dancers in Mourning by Margery Allingham
A Piece of Justice by Jill Paton Walsh
Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes
Killer Dolphin by Ngaio Marsh

Past Tense by Catherine Aird


Up Next:
The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein
The Bloody Wood by Michael Innes
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
[I had
The Castle of Llyr by Lloyd Alexander on my list, but I actually started it and have found that fantasy just isn't to my taste at the moment. Maybe another time.]

You've done well! I sometimes find that I'm not in the right mood for particular genres.
