W... W... W... Wednesdays is a bookish meme hosted by MizB from Should Be Reading. To play along you need to answer three questions.
I'm reading Baltazar and Blimunda by Jose Saramago. I haven't read too much of the book yet, maybe 65 pages or so...but so far so good.
Here's the blurb:
Portugal, 1711: an amorous friar is pursued naked through the rubble-strwn streets of Lisbon; an enthusiastic procession of flagellants roars with pleasure over the damnation of adultery; a royal prince uses hapless sailors for target practice; and women dressed in colorful finery watch as lapsed converts and sorcerers are put to death by flames. In the midst of the terrors of the Inquisition and the plague, a seemingly mismatched couple discovers the wonders of love. This poetic tale, graced with exquisite historical detail and full of magic and adventure, is a tapestry of human folly and human will.
What did you recently finish reading?
I finished reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I loved it and I'm hoping that I will be able to get the second book of the series very soon.
What do you think you’ll read next?
As usual I'm not sure but there are several possibilities: One Dance with a Duke by Tessa Dare, The Apothecary's Daughter by Julie Klassen, All I Ever Wanted by Kristan Higgins, A Cottage by the Sea by Ciji Ware or Heidi by Johanna Spyri.

I can't wait to read the Larssen series. My WWW is at The Crowded Leaf.
