Finished Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. It was a surprisingly easy read, and while I remembered the main plot, I didn't remember any of the details, so enjoyed the whole read.

Just finished the book moments ago (which is also why the thread is late), so haven't yet decided what to read next.

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

Ah, he is the guy who wrote Mars trilogy! They have been on my wishlist for over a decade. Will check it out.

Oh, definitely read those!

Normally I don't re-read many books, but the one I read previous to this one was his Aurora, which has been another of my favorites: it's about a generation ship on its way to settle a new colony in the Tau Ceti system.

Everything I've read by him has a profound impact on my outlook, and I love that he's a fundamentally optimistic writer even when his stories are at their most bleak.

Ahan, thanks for the recommendation! Will see if they have something at our local bookshop.
