Still reading Cold Days by Jim Butcher, the 14th book in Dresden Files series.

Had a busy week so couldn't get much reading done, about halfway through though.

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

Just finished The Roman Villa. An older book, and dry as death.

It was interesting, however, to see concepts which were cutting-edge in the 70s (connecting certain non-Latin place-name endings with Roman villas, the collapse of the Roman economy as a function of societal decline rather than destructive invasions, the continued habitation and transformation of post-Roman villa locations) but are simply accepted orthodoxy now.
