Still reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin. There are some interesting points in it, though not implementing anything right now, just reading the book.
Finished volume 7 of Jujitsu Kaisen manga, by Gege Akutami.
Started The Passage by Justin Cronin. Saw it recommended here a few times, and ordered the trilogy, books are so much longer than I expected. Each book can probably be divided in 2 and still be on slightly thicker end of average book size. I am still at the start, only 60-70 pages yet. Getting a slight feel of Stephen King books. Let’s see how it progresses.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Mistborn: The well of ascension
Amazing book, I have 60 pages left, roughly
Just finished it yesterday… Damn what a cliffhanger the second book ended on! And that twist… Damn!
Are his other novels good? (besides the mistborn books)
If you like mistborn then I can’t recommend enough his other works, I loved them, although I’m yet to get through all of them.
Elantris, Stormlight Archive and White Sand are all set within the same cosmere as Mistborn so will feel familiar. Stormlight Archive is particularly good but I would recommend checking out any of his stuff based on what I have read so far.
I’m still yet to read the last book of the 2nd part of the Mistborn series that is set more in the wild west kind of era. I need to go back and refresh myself on what is going on in that too but I loved the change of back drop but in the same world further in the future from the first three books.
About 1/3 in The three-body problem, by Cixin Liu. Enjoying it so far, the only drawback is that I’m a bit lost between characters names but that’s not so rare for me. I think I’ll read the trilogy this summer.
I take note of The Passage for future, as an amateur of S. King stuff I might enjoy it, thanks.
I started the Expanse series recently. Currently midway through book 5 - Nemesis Games, and getting the just-one-more-chapter thing at 2am most nights. Great books.
Finally started On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, which has been on my TBR for ages, patiently waiting for me to be in the mood for pirates. I can already see how it inspired the Monkey Island games.

Finished The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by John le Carré. Solid Cold War espionage plot written during that era, with George Smiley from Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy involved in the background. Like To Catch a Thief, it has some slurs and a questionably large age-gap relationship, but that’s not terribly surprising. Worth a look if you like stories about intelligence services playing human chess.

Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology. Listening to him read his own audiobooks is like curling up in a blanket with a cup of cocoa.
