I'll Read...
Prompt:
What books are on your reading list?


------

I don't normally use a reading list. This means any book I could be interested in could be in the running. But I do buy or download books I could be interested in when I come across them. Making a list is pressuring myself because I'd be uncomfortable about something that says I have to do it. At least, this is the meaning that my mind conjures up. My only real list is a daily one I make in the morning or the night before, to give my everyday life some routine. so I don't forget to do anything important.

When it comes to books, I read a lot, which means one book at a time, without others in the waiting line or maybe one or two if I'm really interested. This is because I tend to rush my reading if there's a long list. Still, at this time I have a few books in mind.

As of today, I am now reading The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates, a hard-cover book gifted to me last month. What I want to read next is Mes amis, mes amours by Marc Levy. Then, in the waiting, comes The Cairo Trilogy by Naguib Mahfouz, which is a three-book series.

This is, if before or in the middle of these books I mentioned, another book pops up and grabs me in its claws.
