Hello everyone! The weekly threads are back after a small hiatus.

I was reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series), picked it up again but bookmark had dropped somewhere and I couldn't find where I was, so may start from some earlier place.

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

Missed you! Read the stainless steel rat series by Harry Harrison up to "The stainless steel rat for president". Started reading "Der Jesus-deal" by Andreas Eschbach, but didn't get far, it's on the "didn't finish" pile. After the first chapter it sidetracked to "religious conspiracies in the USA" and I've read plenty of those, though Eschbach probably did a better job than some others I've read.

Now reading "A death in Cornwall" by Daniel Silva. This one's been on the shelf for some time, I never started it because this series is centered around some Israelian super spy, and earlier installments tended to glorify Israel. However, this is just a nice detective story so far, I'm about 2/3 through and no Israelic involvement.
