We want to know what you&#8217;re reading. Think of this as a chance to let other people know about a good book (or a bad one) that you&#8217;re reading.

Use the comments section to voice your opinions on your latest read.<\/p>\n<p>OK, I&#8217;ll go first. I&#8217;m currently in the process of reading a book in Spanish entitled &#8220;La Sombra del Viento&#8221; (The Shadow of the Wind), written by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. The book takes place in Barcelona in the 1940s, a very difficult era in Spain&#8217;s history due to the recent end of the Spanish Civil War and the start of Franco&#8217;s dictatorship. The protagonist, Daniel, finds this secret &#8216;Library of Forgotten Books&#8217; and becomes enthralled with a particular book. Zafon&#8217;s novel follows Daniel&#8217;s ten-year obsession with the fictitious book and its author. As I said, I haven&#8217;t finished the book, but I&#8217;ll let you know my thoughts when I&#8217;m all done &#8211; and don&#8217;t worry, there&#8217;s an English translation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whatcha reading?, our new category, is all about you.
