Did you know that Twitter is completely addictive? No, really, it is. I scorned it at first, and I'm still trying to avoid micro-posts like “I'm watching TV right now”, but otherwise … I'm fully hooked on the damn thing.
Um. That's not why we're here. We're here for the weekly What Are You Reading on Mondays? Event hosted here: http://j-kaye-book-blog.blogspot.com/
What am I reading? Well, Monday, and invisible internets people, that's a bloody good question.
Not a lot, but I am reading, which I consider to be progress. So on the go, I have The Matriarch by Witi Ihimaera, which I'm reading on my breaks at work, when not distracted by evil gossipy magazines, and Soldier in the Mist, Book 1 of the omnibus Latro in the Mist by Gene Wolfe, which is about a Roman soldier, in 479BC, who has lost his short-term memory. Every night, he forgets what has happened, so he writes everything down.
I'm not very far into it, but I suspect greatness is going to ensue.
The Matriarch is considered a classic of New Zealand literature and hey! I just thought of something! I bailed on my April classic, which was supposed to be The Jungle Book. I can totally count The Matriarch though.
Ha!
I mean, um, the only book I read last week was City of Bones, by Cassandra Clare.
Laptops and lullabies. :)

I know what you mean about the addiction of Twitter. It's also been a lifesaver. I haven't been able to get around as much this year as planned. It keeps me connected to I won't totally lose contact. ;) I swear I won't sign up for so many book challenges next year! UGH!
Changing the subject, I have got to read Cassandra Clare's series! I might not be able to this year, but I will next year and get all caught up. ;)
I'm going to check into the Twitter- everyone seem to be doing it so why not I? Sounds like fun!
The Wolfe sounds interesting! I'll have to watch for your review.
Re twitter - I was on for a few weeks and then found it too much to keep up with (and got irritated with so many micro-posts, lol). My kids and a few siblings are on it so I may go back at some point. Maybe if I get the email function added to my Blackberry (I know, long story short - I inherited it from my husband and just use it for calls and text messaging at this point).
I just signed up for twitter a couple of weeks back and am so addicted to it already. But yeah back to the subject the Wolf sounds quite interesting.
Hi!
The book about the solider sounds intriguing! I am also using Twitter, but don't keep up with it as much. I need to do that! Have a great day!!

I'm a twitter addict too! I'm still trying to find my way around, but love reading what is going on there.
