Weekly reading
Apr. 8th, 2020 12:18 pmI haven't posted one of these in a long while, and I'd like to get back in the habit.
Currently reading:
Unfortunately, nothing. I've been too busy and distractable to start anything new.
Recently finished:
We're playing a bit fast and loose with the term "recent" as I finished my last book on March 29. It was The Faceless Old Woman who Secretly Lives in Your Home, the latest Welcome to Night Vale novel. I really loved it. I loved their last novel too, but this is my favorite so far. It goes into the long history of the FOW and how she came to be. I was curious to see how it would fit with the podcast, but they made it work well. It offers a nice historical setting in a fictionalized version of Europe. I think they were spot on when they called it a mix between The Princess Bride, The Count of Monte Cristo, and The Haunting of Hill House--although it features less haunting than the last comparison would imply.
Up Next:
Most likely The Silmarillion. I read some excerpts of it for my class last year, so I think it's high time that I try to tackle the whole thing myself.
