This is my first Sunday Salon post despite the fact I signed up months ago. I'm still entirely unsure how the whole thing works. One thing I do know, however, I am to talk about books. Not a problem.
Recently Finished Books
This past week I finished Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, read Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones, and Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris. All three books were attached to reading challenges I'm currently participating in.
Challenges Update
I finished two challenges this past week: What's in a Name and the Chunkster Challenge. I am still working on seven reading challenges, so keep your fingers crossed.
What's Coming
I'm reading Club Dead, the third book in the Sookie Stackhouse series right now, but I'm pretty sure I'll have it done today. Next on the list is John Connolly's Nocturnes, Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, and The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins. All of these will be re-reads that I'm teaching this semester in my Intro to Lit course.
Interesting Extras
Meyer stole Breaking Dawn: "A woman who wrote an obscure vampire book as a teenager has sued "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer, accusing her of stealing ideas from the work for the fourth book in her vampire series, "Breaking Dawn.""
50 percent of American adults are unable to read an eighth grade level book.
