Wednesday Intended Reading Post

Or: what DIDN'T you read 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?

I was tearing through Helen Castor's new (well, 2014) book on Joan of Arc before going on a two-week holiday last month, but now that I'm back I can't get myself back into it. On the plus side I've become quite ruthless about clearing out tabs, which has felt really good.

I cleared the bedside table off, putting all the half read books bar library books on a separate pile. Which leaves me with a book on political ideology, one on analysis of variance, and one on using the lattice package for the program R (for making pretty graphs auto-magically). I would like to have made progress on any one of these by this time next week.

I didn't read any of the Sir Sidney Smith bio that's been on my coffee table for over a month, and it's due back at the library in a day or two..

I also didn't read either of the Will Eisner collections or the Robert Sheckley short stories that I had checked out, but those I finally took back to the library partially un-read.

I've had that essay on Harriet Vane and Lord Peter open in a tab all day and *still* haven't read it. Tomorrow for sure.

I haven't been able to read a novel or non-fiction book in a long time-- I think in August when I read the Summer Prince, was the last full-length one. So bite-sized reading is just my speed!

The next novel I'm hoping to read is Fangirl, by Rainbow Rowell.
