Intended Reading (3rd August)

What haven't you read yet this week?

We all have things we mean to read, but never quite find the time, whether it's a bunch of unopened tabs, or an ever growing pile of books by the bed.

What's on your to-be-read list this week

Class reading, again. Still. Whatever.

Stack o' books in bag. Notable titles are Athenian Popular Religion, Sidewalk Oracles, and Worshipping Athena.

What haven't I read? :D Lots! But specifically...
most of a book that I'm reading slowly, for fun and may not finish - the very densely Romantic, set in 2073, published 1826, book by Mary Shelley, The Last Man. I suppose she began it in 1823, and set it 150 years in the future.
So far there's not much that's futuristic, though England has been declared a republic, and long-distance travel can be by balloons fitted with mechanical, feathered wings for direction and speed.

The newly released tome of requirements for the Jupiter mission. Only 400 pages long!

Ploughing (slowly) through Geoffrey Parker "Global Crisis: War, Climate Change and Catastrophe in the Seventeenth Century"

The Golem and the Djinni by Helene Wecker. It's a hardback library book. nearly 500 pages. I got to page 19!
It's due back on the 5th. Today is the 3rd.

It should be possible to extend - renew - the loan. I will need my library card - got that - and my PIN, which in my case I do not have. I lost it.

I can still attempt to renew. It will be an adventure.

It looks fascinating - will you be posting a review?

Good luck starting something.

I've never read this, but I suspect I may own a copy.

[ironed_orchid]

ONLY!

[ironed_orchid]

Good luck!

Sometimes I take books back in case someone else might actually read it, and knowing that I can get it out again at some future point.

[chickenfeet]

I guess so

Great!
