Still reading Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Didn't really get much to read this week, so at same place as last week.

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

I read It's Lonely at the Center of the Earth yesterday and loved it. I'd like to read more GNs, I mostly read manga, but there doesn't seem to be many realistic fiction GNs? I'm not that interested in fantasy/supernatural stuff usually. So if anyone knows any good realistic GNs I'm open to suggestions ๐Ÿ˜‹

I'm also reading Creation and Anarchy by Agamben, but I've been a bit distracted by Silksong so it's taking a while, whoopsie~

For graphic novels: Have you read Persepolis? Also recommend Fun Home.

Thank you! Persepolis was on my to-read already, but those are great recommendations :)

Fun Home and Are You My Mother? are both superb.

I also personally like Derf Backderf, especially My Friend Dahmer and Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio.

Never heard of It's Lonely at the Center of the Earth, going to check it out!

Cool, I hope you'll love it at least half as much as I did!
