Reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy. Around 180 or so pages in, and we are still in the past, the story is interesting, so reading about these characters, but I am still not sure if it will have any effect in the future / present, or it’s just for world building. I am now invested enough now to see where it goes though.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it’s Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.
Finished The Rise of Endymion, finally. It seemed like it would be a good 400-500 page book but instead was a 800+ page slog. I really enjoyed the first two books in the Hyperion cantos but the last two were rough.
Currently finishing rereading Levithan Wakes and just started Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas, which is obviously incredibly depressing.
Shadow of Self. Book two of the second Mistborn arc. It’s been pretty great so far. I’m craving book 5 of Stormlight though!
Keep going! I wrapped those up earlier this year and still miss Vins exploits. Worth it and I wanted more. I need to get through storm light before listening to the next generation of mistborne.
I’m working on the way of kings, Caladan is the freaking man, can’t wait to see how he develops. His little wind spirit just let us in on what she really is… not going to leak storm light here though.
I am following his recommended cosmete order so tress and warbreaker were - nice stand alones that reminds me of Pratchett. Also great tidbits about the cosmere.
I’ll be on Brandon books at least another year I think. Thanks to his work on WoT.
Finally finished book one of He Who Fights With Monsters and started the second one.
Did not expect the first book to end the way it did. Good to see Jasons rants are toned back a significant amount in this one.
Just started Midnight Kingdom, book 2 of a series by Tara Sim.
It’s fine. Book 1 was also fine, not great but not bad. It’s just a bit flat, and I don’t really care about the characters.
Currently I’m reading:
Mockeries and Metamorphoses of an Aztec God Tezcatlipoca, “Lord of the Smoking Mirror”
by Guilhem Oliver and translated by Michael Besson
It’s a text book about Tezcatlipoca.
@MisterNeon @dresden interesting
It really is and it’s thorough. It’s got charts of when Tezcatlipoca shows up visually in codices which I can then cross reference.
@MisterNeon I see. I’m not that versed in Aztec mithology. Right now I’m reading Gary Jennings’ Aztec. Have you read it?
