What did you just finish reading?
Katherine Mansfield, The Garden Party and Other Stories (via dailylit.com). I hadn't read Mansfield in many years. Wow, could she write.

What are you currently reading?
Still reading Queers Dig Time Lords and Lesley Wheeler's The Receptionist and Other Tales.

I'm also reading Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. I've heard a lot of praise for this YA novel, and it's well-deserved. The comic book & music geekery are lovely, as is the love story. (All of which is counterbalanced by the scenes of Eleanor's truly awful home life.)

I also started reading Moby Dick on dailylit.com. (I got the bug to read it because of Joanna Russ's comments on Melville and class in How To Suppress Women's Writing.)

And I have just begun Sofia Samatar's A Stranger in Olondria.

What will you read next?
Not sure, but I want to note that I just learned there are now TWO biographies of Denise Levertov (until last week I didn't know there were any). They're both available on Kindle, though both are fairly expensive. Trying to decide which one to get...

Ooh, if you end up getting one of the Levertov biographies, reports on that would be much appreciated.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Queers Dig Time Lords at some point.
