My summer reading is nothing to boast about, I would have liked to read more since I still have quite a handful of unread novels sitting on my shelf. Nevertheless, whatever the excuse, I just did not get to read as much as I would have liked to. Life came in the way. All the same, I am glad I read at all, very thick novels for that matter. OK, maybe I am just exaggerating when I say thick, below the pages.
Measuring Time by Helon Habila 400 pages
The Godfather by Mario Puzo 450 pages
Sundowners by Lesly Lokko 600 pages
What about you? How was your summer reading? Or how was your reading during the third trimester of the year 2015? I hope it was better than mine.
Right now I am reading
An Elegy for Easterly by Petina Gappah. It is a collection of short stories set in Zimbabwe (so far). Have you read it? If so what is your opinion?

Helon Habila is an author I'd like to explore. I read an interview of his recently. I admire him
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, he is a very underrated writer. He is really good! Perhaps, he needs to write more? Please, do explore him.
DeleteThe Godfather is great, almost classic. Would love to read Helon Habila's book as well as the Sundowners.
ReplyDeleteThe Godfather was an amazing read! A real page-turner. Read Helon Habila's books. You can do without the Sundowners.
DeleteAn Elegy for Easterly has been on my wish list for a while now. Loving your blog by the way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I highly appreciate.
DeleteAbout the only novel I've managed to read this year is The Martian by Andy Weir, and that was only because I like reading the book first before going to see the movie. I'll be picking up Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith (a.k.a. J.K. Rowling) as soon as it drops next week though, so there's that to look forward to. :D
