Finished Dark Moon by David Gemell. Ending was a bit quick, and left a bit to be desired, but overall I enjoyed the book, and would try some more of his work.

Reading The Better Part of Valour by Tania Huff, book 2 of Confederation. It's a next military mission in the life of our protagonist, but rest of the whole cast is changed, would be interesting to see if that happens every time or we get old faces next time.

Also started Your Money or Your Life : 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship With Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin / Joe Dominguez. It was highly recommended on reddit's financial independence subs, so when I recently saw someone had a copy, borrowed it right away. I am still on first chapter, so can't say much at all, but it seems interesting.

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

I'm currently reading The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons, the followup to Hyperion. I finished Hyperion during the first week of the new year so it was only fitting that I would read the sequel next.

How did you like the Hyperion? It's been a while I have seen it mentioned.

I liked it a lot. So much so that since reading it anytime someone asks me "what's your religion" I say "cult for the Shrike." I even reference it (and Dune) in my profile description here on lemmy.

Heh, I haven’t actually read the series so don’t know what that means, but I can see your love for the series. Maybe it’s time to bump it close to top of my wishlist.

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You should definitely read it!

So much to read, so little time...

Though it has been on my wishlist for quite a while, and I am trying to focus on books that have been on the list for long, so should get to it soon-ish.

Profile name based on a book character(s)? Hmm….

[–] dresden 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, don't know why people do that...
