I finished Death Masks by Jim Butcher, 5th book in the series. This is probably the best book in the series yet, pretty much no dull moment. And I have heard it just keeps getting better from here, so looking forward to that!

After that, looking for epic fantasy, started The Daevabad Trilogy by S. A. Chakraborty. Read the first book City of Brass and loved it. A different setting from the "medieval European" one we usually get, and thoroughly enjoyable book.

Before starting next book in the series, read Elly Griffith's The Janus Stone, 2nd book in Dr. Ruth Galloway mystery series. It was a quick but nice read, I'm going to continue with her books.

Just starting The Kingdom of Copper by S. A. Chakraborty, the next (2nd) book in The Daevabad Trilogy.

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

I finally finished (my 3rd read of) Gravity's Rainbow. So now I can focus on some non-fiction that I was trying to read at the same time as GR (that never works). Those would be: Seeing That Frees by Rob Burbea (a book on meditation and buddhist stuff), and Gödel Escher Bach by Douglas Hofstadter. I have loads of fiction to get to after this, but want to clear the stack of "same time" books first.

Yeah, I can understand that. I have a "same time" book that I have been reading since last 3 years, I think. 😀 I should probably just read it after this one and finish it in a week or so.

3 years!! haha. Yeah, that would probably be a relief to finish. If you're still enjoying it, that is.

It's non-fiction essays, I have it in my car, read it when I am waiting in car and don't have my main book with me. It's half done, can finish the rest in a few days, and I think it's about time I do that... I just don't have any other book to put in car to replace that 😀

Ah, well, that seems not a bad sort of book to be the "perma-reader"!
