yuuagoFinished reading: N/A I haven't finished reading anything recently.
Currently reading: The Martian by Andy Weir. I wasn't planning to read this one, but the library had it in ebook, so ehhhh why not. Turns out, it's very much to my taste, and I've been ploughing through it really quickly (probably will finish it tomorrow, who knows). If I'd known about the mixed format - log entries, electronic communication, etc - then I might have checked it out sooner. When I think about it, I tend to like survival stories a lot, so it isn't all that surprising that I'd enjoy this one. I kind of skim over the technobabble, but there isn't so much of it that I find it offputting. Kind of curious about the film now - again, I wasn't planning to watch it, but I think now I might.
Also currently reading: Still not quite finished Richard Wagamese's Runaway Dreams. This guy's work = poetry goals, seriously. If I can ever be half as good, I'll be happy. So glad that the library has more of his work - I'll definitely be looking toward those....
Reading next: I have a book out on Cree oral history - the title's escaping me at th moment, and I'm too lazy to go across the room to look for it - so it'll probably be that. Unless it's something else. I don't know. There are too many books in my room. It's overwhelming.
Though, a recent discussion kind of made me want to re-read some of the Animorphs novels. ...It's been years. This is probably a terrible idea.
