Currently Reading?

Since this is a community on blogging about books I was wondering what everyone is currently reading and blogging about. I love to find new authors and books that others are reading and loving, so I'll start with what I'm currently reading.

I'm currently reading Promise of the Rose by Brenda Joyce.

The Luzhin Defense by Vladimir Nabokov. New editions are giving it the title The Defense. I hate when they change things. It's about a troubled chess master without social skills and bordering on delusional. Very good so far. John Tarturro played him in the film and was brilliant.

And Moby Dick - I've posted my thoughts on the reading so far. Also a very good experience:

Just blogged about We Need to Talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver which I reviewed. A five star read:

Am reading The Cartoon History of the Modern World Part II From the Bastille to Baghdad by Larry Gonick. I am curious if graphic novels count. This book has a deeper bibliography and index than most history books I have read.
