Read White Night by Jim Butcher. Book 9 of Dresden Files. The start felt weaker than previous books, but it picked up after a little while, and ended up pretty good overall. In general, every new Dresden Files book feels better than the last one, but with this one, I would say while it's good, it isn't better than previous one (Proven Guilty).

Also started reading Side Jobs by Jim Butcher. These are short stories in the same world. I have read all the ones until White Night (the book I just read). Will keep this book in 'Currently Reading' pile and read the next stories after reading the respective novels.

Read The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. The story was weird, specially the ending. Couldn't decide what to make of it. So will just leave it at that.

Currently reading Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 2 of Rivers of London series. Urban fantasy featuring a "magic cop" in London. I loved the first book, and have only just started this one. Have hardly read 5 pages yet.

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

I'm currently devouring The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, and it's every bit as good as my friends said it'd be. If you're into fantasy/Witcher kind of stuff, it's brilliant. Heck, it's probably great even if you're not.

I recently finished the 3rd and 4th books of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, which have been fun. I'm not sure if I'll continue them anytime soon though. So many other books to read.

My problem with The Name of the Wind is that it seems like there is never going to be book 3, and I don't want any more unfinished series in my life.

Yeahhh.... I knew that going in, and I think I'm ok with it. Ask me again when I finish book 2 though :)
