Brie’s comments from the Read by Theme group.

I am almost finished with Please Talk to Me: Selected Stories and it was a very interesting collection of dark short stories!

I actually finished all the books I was planning on reading! Except for Midnight in the Century...that one was set aside for a while and a few others took its place...

Of all of them, I would strongly suggest The Diaries of Adam & Eve. It was adorable and funny and Mark Twain is brilliant.

This month I am reading:

The Diaries of Adam & Eve -- Mark Twain

How to Be a Heroine: Or, What I've Learned from Reading Too Much -- Samantha Ellis

Midnight in the Century -- Victor Serge

The Professor Of Desire -- Philip Roth

I ACTUALLY finished The Canterbury Tales!!! I'm shocked!!! It was amazing and wonderful and surprisingly funny! Chaucer is fantastic...

Fantastic! I think this calls for a little Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales. The real challenge will be if I can finish it in a month...

I am reading The Time of the Doves by Mercè Rodoreda translated into English from the original Catalan.
