This was a very busy week for me, hardly got time to read 100 or so pages. Still reading Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. Book 3 of The Dresden Files.

What about all of you, what have you been reading?

The Tibetan book of the dead for beginners by Lama Lhanang Rinpoche.

The fifth season by N. K. Jemisin

I don't know much about "The Tibetan Book of the Dead", is it too difficult, that it needs a beginner's edition? Or is it just a translation, named like that?

The Fifth Season is pretty good. How are you enjoying it?

It's more of a tibetan book of the dead for dummies kind of thing. It summarizes the teaching of the tibetan book of the dead.

I actually have a bit of hard time with the fifth season. I find the writing style a bit hard to follow and I have some difficulty relating to anything.

Ah okay. Thanks for the info.

I agree. The series is quite dry, and writing style is a bit hard to follow. Overall, it's still a good book. Though, I am not sure I would recommend finishing it if you aren't liking it much.
