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?

Currently blasting through (because it's hard to put down) Qualityland by Marc Uwe Kling. A satirical but horrifying take on society that's fully dependent on algorithms. It follows a "useless" person around trying to seek meaning and the overt advertising throughout really feels too close to reality. It's a fun read I may finish in one day, it's well translated and a surprise to find in a dollar tree store.
