WWW Wednesday is a book meme run by Taking on a World of Words.
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
Currently Reading
I’ve still got a lot to go of The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, but I’m making my way favourably enough through The Fellowship of the Ring portion. I will hopefully have that done by next week. The fellowship has formed and they are all making there way out of Rivendell, and that couldn’t come soon enough. I can appreciate the lore and backstory built out to a point, but the Council of Elrond went on for quite a long time. I have a feeling my experience is going to fluctuate like this throughout my reading; from enjoying the plot movement and progression to growing weary with the restful periods, unless the pacing changes as their quest goes further along.
Recently Finished
Nothing this week!
Reading Next
Probably going to start reading Skeleton Crew by Stephen King soon after all, though its stories are not as consistently brief as I would have liked. At the onset is “The Mist” which is over 180 pages long, so it’s a novella in its own right. Some are pretty short, however, so I do want to start it as a supplemental read. I’ll try my best not to have it usurp my priorities. Other than that, I’m likely going to start reading Fragments of Horror by Junji Ito soon. It’s another collection of short stories, about half the length of Shiver, so it should make for a good light reprieve from Lord of the Rings.
Muse with Me 
I’ve never read Lord of the Rings (nor seen the films). I tried to read The Hobbit, twice, but nevergot that far in before I lost interest. Here’s my WWW – https://whisperingstories.com/wednesday-reading-7th-march-2018/
I’ve actually read The Hobbit twice and really liked it. I think Tolkien’s intentions with each book were quite different, however, creating very different beasts when it comes to experience while reading.
Great choices. 🙂
I have read the Hobbit and I have the Lord of the Rings trilogy cued up but I really just need to get going on them! Here is my WWW post: https://silverbuttonbooks.com/2018/03/07/www-wednesday-march-7-2018/
I love the Lord of the Rings! I hope you’re enjoying it. Tolkien was such a brilliant writer and creator of worlds. I think The Hobbit is my favorite though!
I am enjoying it, though it’s more of a grind than I’d like. Tolkien certainly likes to take his time. The Hobbit is still my favourite too!
Yes, lol! He certainly does!! Not a book to read if your looking for light or fast reading!
I haven’t read any of these books. I hope you have a great reading week!

Good on you with your perseverance with LoTR. I imagine it could feel a bit of a slog at times 🙂
