Not much change at my end, still reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin.

Also started volume 7 of Jujitsu Kaisen manga, by Gege Akutami.

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

Without giving any spoilers, did that character got his well deserved comeuppance? ๐Ÿ˜€

The Time Traveler by H. G. Wells? I remember reading it a long long time ago and liking it, though don't remember most of it now.

Very much so, although the author manages to make it much more poignant than I expected, but it was for good reasons.

Yeah, H.G. Wells. I finished it a couple nights ago. It's very... Pompous? It's so over the top that it wouldn't surprise me if it was actually supposed to be satire... but I don't think it was. I'm glad I read it, but I highly doubt I'll ever pick it up again. Oh, and it's The Time Machine, not Traveler - sorry for the brain fart.

lol, yeah, I didn't even remember the name ๐Ÿ˜€

I pretty much read all my H. G. Wells in my very young days, and haven't gone back to them after that. May pick it up again to see how I feel about it now.
