Didn't get any reading done this week, so still reading:

Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin.
The Passage by Justin Cronin

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Reading

"The Passage" - Justin Cronin

I remember reading the book when it was first released, but didn't like it. I was reminded of this book by the recent tv show, and thought, maybe I was too young. So I'm giving it another try.

Finished

"Blue Labyrinth" - Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

"Project Hail Mary" - Andy Weir

Hiatus/Continuous Reading

"Best of Tor"

"Rouge" - George RR Martin edit.

It's pretty long, and is giving me Stephen King vibes. I am still within first 100 pages or so, which isn't even 10th of the book.

Yup, which is one of the reason why it interests me at first (I like big books and I can not lie), I believe what turned me off the first time is the time skip (90 years?) from Part I to Part II. I have invested in those characters in Part I and can't accept that they simply doesnt exist anymore in Part II.

Lets see how a decade effects my point of view.
