I began listening to this final book of the trilogy as soon as I concluded listening to The Girl Who Played With Fire. The action in The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest picks right up from [...]

Last week, I completed my reading of Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is the fourth book starring Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and was originally published in 1926.

Last weekend, I completed my reading of Voltaire’s Candide, or Optimism. Candide is my first experience reading anything by Voltaire, and is a book that’s on my Classics Club list.

Book #8 – Homer’s The Odyssey
Yesterday, while I was eating my lunch, I completed my reading of Homer’s The Odyssey. The Odyssey is the twelfth book I’ve completed from my Classics Club list. As I also mentioned on Sunday, one of the reasons why I chose to tackle The Odyssey now is to tackle James Joyce’s Ulysses here shortly. In The Odyssey, I read [...]
The Quest To Read Ulysses Is On!
It’s a beautiful Sunday morning here at home! I’ve truly been enjoying the nice weather here early on in Spring. Baseball season is in full swing, hockey has about another week or so left, and I’ve recently been reinvigorated with my reading and seem to be reading at a much faster pace than I have [...]
