Reading: The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson.

Nothing new at my end. Had another busy work week, didn't get time to read anything. It is over now though, so should be able to finish it this week.

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

Ouch, I hate when that happens. Haven't read anything like that recently though.

Yeah, I think maybe I was just overambitious. Until this summer, I haven't read so many books one after the other in many years, since before we had a kid in fact, and before I had a phone!

Something clicked while I was on holiday though and been devouring fiction since then - TS is maybe a bridge too far though!

Maybe I'll just read Infinite Jest again, something nice and simple... ๐Ÿ˜

Heh, I am afraid Infinite Jest is going to be a book like that for me. Have it on my bookshelf, but afraid to start it ๐Ÿ˜€

Ha ha! Yeah, it's intimidating. Brilliant though, I've been through it twice already.
