Started the next book in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, Cold Days

Since it's the 14th book in the series, I can't say much about it without spoiling what happened in the previous books, but things have become very interesting. Though, the more the things change, the more they stay the same, Harry is still out of his depth, and stakes are still sky high.

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

Ill Met in Lankhmar (1995) by Fritz Leiber in it's first unabridged german translation from 2004.

It is absurd, how underrated Leiber is up to this day. He was so much better than many of his contemporaries.

Look for "The Big Time."

He did a lot of short stories set in The Change War, a conflict that ranges across all of the Universe, from the Big Band to the Heat Death. Two sides, the Spiders and the Snakes, recruit beings of all races to rewrite history.

Thanks for the tip, that sounds pretty interesting. I look forward to read that and his other SciFi and horror stuff when I am through with Fafhrd and the Grey Mousling.
