A very busy week, didn't get to do any reading at all.

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

A reminder about our Book Bingo. Take look, if you haven't already.

Currently reading Dune by Frank Herbert. (I have not seen the movie yet--I want to read the book first.)

Currently listening to Dead Beat by Jim Butcher. I generally reserve audiobooks for things I have read. I don't like to reread things but I like listening to them and picking up on the stuff I missed (or in the case of the Dresden Files, forgot.)

I am also reading Dresden File, finished Dead Beat a little while ago, going to start Proven Guilty soon.

How are you liking Dune so far?

I'm surprisingly into it! I'm not much of a major sci-fi person, though I've dabbled. It's a bit harder for me to get into sci-fi in general, and I figured Dune would be a difficult read. But I find it very easy to visualize. Sometimes the random terminology trips me up but I'm still getting the gist enough to enjoy it. I haven't gotten very far yet so that may change but I think I'm going to like the book.
