I was pretty busy last week, so couldn’t post the weekly thread. Sorry about that.

Since the last update, I finished Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson, book 3 of the sci-fi series Cytoverse. After that, I continued with the last novella Evershore by Brandon and Janci Patterson. Now reading Defiant, the fourth and the final book in the series.

Also reading Design Patterns, a classic book for software design. While I have read about these online and studied from other sources, I never actually read the actual book. So fixing that now.

What about all of you? What have you been listening and reading lately?

    I just finished the first trilogy which starts with “Red Rising”. It was really entertaining, and I highly recommend it. I’ll start the follow up series soon.

    Right now I’m reading both Salem’s Lot by King and The Catcher in the Rye. I like to throw in classics that I missed in high school - I didn’t appreciate them then, but I’ve found a few as an adult that I’ve absolutely loved. Both books are pretty good so far - we’ll see how they end.

      Red Rising series is on my wishlist, people with similar taste to mine have recommended it to me a few times.

      I agree about classics. While I enjoyed a few, there are many I didn’t appreciate, but I don’t like forcing them. If I feel like reading one, I do, if I don’t, I just let it go.
