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?

Nice that the weekly thread is back 🙂

Since the last one I finished Roadside Picnic. It was good. Still have to watch the movie though.

After that I tried reading Duin, the Dutch translation of Frank Herbert's Dune, but I stopped reading after about a third of the book. The translation wasn't good, so I thought about reading it in English, but ultimately the story was annoying me.

Then I read Holly by Stephen King and his The Outsider after that. They were fine. Just fine, nothing more. Not really interested in reading more by him. It was nice to read something better after Duin though.

Then I read The Road by Cormac McCarthy, which I had wanted to read for years already. It was heavy and the world he describes is very bleak, but the book is beautiful and so well-written. I highly recommend it.

And now I'm reading A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood. A few months ago I saw the movie and I can already say the book is so much better.
