After finishing it, I wanted to focus on the other books I was reading but the ending made me start the Mistborn: Secret Histories novella right away.

The novella takes place in Era 1 (at least as far as I have read) but the recommended order is after The Bands of Mourning, as mentioned at the end of the book. Pretty interesting so far.

Still Readings Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken and The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Caroll, but at very slow pace. Going to focus on them one at a time to speed them up.

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

Finished: The Hour of the Predator by Giuliano da Empoli. Very underwhelming after having made great promises. The book draws parallels between modern "leaders" and Cesare Borgia, but due to the tight structure (1 leader per chapter) and the many irrelevant anecdotes of the author's time among "important" people, the parallels never get examined closely or even in an interesting manner.

Currently reading: thanks to this Lemmy post I discovered the Garth Marenghi books. I'm now 20 pages into the first one, TerrorTome, and I like it a lot. The typical Garth voice, serious and funny at the same time, setting up another silly story. I can't wait to pick it back up.
