Still reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy. Haven't read much more since the last week, but the few pages I did read are still in old time, and while they are interesting for world building, I can't make myself feel anything for characters that have been dead for 100 years, and have nothing to do with the "current" story. Still, like I said, going to read at least first 100 pages, and then see if I still want to continue.
Also started The Complete Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft. I have never gotten around to reading any of it, so wanted to read it all in published order. Couldn't find any good collection in local store, so started downloading all his work (which is in public domain), but then found out about the ebook created by "CthulhuChick", she has basically gone through what I was doing and compiled an ebook with his complete works, organized in published order (excluding his one story from very early days, and two other non-horror stories. Since I wanted to read those too, I just added them in myself).
So, enjoying this now. Have only read first couple of stories yet. Would love to see how his work evolves.
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.
lol I swear every time I see one of these topics I'm on another read through of Karen Rose (audiobooks). (She just released number 30, so I decided to dive in again).
I'm almost through Elements of Choice by Eric Johnson as my current ebook read, though. It's a pretty good look at how choice architecture affects decisions. Kind of similar to Richard Thaler's Nudge in terms of material, but I think I prefer Johnson's presentation (it's been a while though). Both are interesting and well worth the read, because people are using these tactics to affect your behavior.
Audible recently had an OK 5 credit bundle sale, so I finally pulled the trigger on the Stormlight Archive series on Audiobook. I've been working on the ebooks for a while, but it benefits from longer stretches of deeper immersion and I bounce way more on ebooks. I'll just start that over and do what he's written back to back once I do the dozen Rose books I have left.
