valzhangI missed making this for March, but for better or for worse I only read two books in these two months anyway. Of course, I hope to read more stuff in May. The book I just picked up is super dense so we'll see—I'll be proud if I can actually finish it!
! = Priority
CR:
Putin's People — Catherine Belton
The First Bad Man — Miranda July
TBR:
These Violent Delights — Micah Nemerever
Notes from Underground — Fyodor Dostoevsky (!)
The Brothers Karamazov — Fyodor Dostoevsky
Hamlet — Shakespeare
The Waves — Virginia Woolf
Confessions of a Mask — Yukio Mishima
The Passion — Jeanette Winterson
Piranesi — Susanna Clarke
Stasiland — Anna Funder
Carol / The Price of Salt — Patricia Highsmith
AR:
The Stone Gods — Jeanette Winterson
A Farewell to Arms — Ernest Hemingway
Every day my TBR gets longer and longer and every day I can't find any of the titles on there in the library or anywhere. Why am I cursed like this? It would be a lot easier if I could just feel comfortable reading on a screen, but I really prefer to read traditional paper books. Sigh.
Anyway, the book that I just started is really long. According to reviews it's a bit of a slog and a lot of information to absorb even for people who are more historically intelligent than me... so wish me luck! I might give up on it, but I'll try my best.
