Still reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy. Enjoying it enough to not give up, but not enjoying it enough it enough to read it quickly, so it’s going slowly. Going to try to speed up and finish it quickly.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I have read “The State and Revolution.” Now I am reading “What Is to Be Done?” Both books by Lenin.
Just finished the mercy of gods by James sa Corey, loved it. I think I agree that leviathan wakes is a better start for its respective berries, comparatively, but still it was great. I’ll have to get my hands on the first novella, zlivesuit, but in the meantime I started Ursula k Le Guin’s the dispossessed. Not very far yet, but really liking it

I’ve been listening to 2666 by Roberto Bolaño. So far I’ve been enjoying it, even though I have no idea where it’s supposed to be going. I can’t imagine the current plot thread persisting through 28 hours.
It’s one of my all-time favorite books and I’m still not sure I could actually explain the plot to someone. In fact, I’m not confident there is a coherent plot rather than a bunch of related vignettes that just kind of happen, some of which tell a story and some not so much.
My brain just kind of spent so much time trying to understand what the point of any of it was that I eventually ended up with an interpretation that I loved to view the book through, and therefore I ended up loving the book.
