Finished The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy! Finally!

It was interesting read, but too long. Too much back story and details that could have been condensed quite a bit. As it is, I didn't like the fist quarter, second quarter was okay, third was interesting, and really enjoyed the last one.

Still one book remaining in the trilogy, but need a break, will come back to after a little while.

Read some more stories from The Complete Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft.

Now reading The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).

It's my first Drizzt, and first D&D novel and has been on my wishlist for a very long time. Just started it so can't really say much about it, but enjoying it so far.

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

Not currently reading anything but just finished The Fisherman by John Langan. I’m just here hoping someone can recommend some good horror from the last few years

Finished Words of Radiance, started Oathbringer.

They hit pretty hard back to back with the end of one and right out of the gate in the other.

Cool about Drizzt! I enjoyed (what I read of) The Dark Elf trilogy.. I forget how much I read, but, very cool world-building.

I finally finished books 1 and 2 of The Kingkiller books (Rothfuss) and thoroughly enjoyed them. I'm now onto Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy.

I'm still using reading mostly as a means to fall asleep but I finished Slow Horses on the weekend. Even after watching the TV series the books are very enjoyable.

On to the next one!

How are you finding Lovecraft so far? Do you have a favourite out of what you've read so far?

I'm carrying on with Deathlands (of course) but this week I have been throwing in some R L Stine Goosebumps books. I spoke about liking them as a kid with my gf recently and it made me want to revist a few titles I remember as I don't remember the stories themselves.

At the moment, I am still reading "Amadeo Bordiga in the Italian Communist Party" by Agustín Guillamón. Additionally, I have started "Anatomy of an Epidemic" by Robert Whitaker, which critiques the solutions that current psychiatry proposes in Western societies; it specifically focuses on the United States.

Not my usual thing, I'm admittedly a trashy action thriller person, but Yellowface is very much keeping my attention at the moment. It's very well written

I am slowly going through The Wandering Inn. Without spoiling things I'm loving the utility of a door.
