Finished Killing Floor by Lee Child, first Jack Reacher novel. I really liked it. I had been looking forward to starting the series, so ordered first 3 books, but when I got the books they were pretty thick, and I wasn’t sure if an action / thriller novel will keep me interested for so long, but I enjoyed it. Going to order a few more novels in the series.

Read Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch, first novel in Rivers of London series. It’s an urban fantasy police procedural set in London. I was expecting something like Dresden Files, but it was pretty different, not in a bad way though.

Currently Reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin. Started it in January but hardly read a few pages, started it again today and just finished the first chapter. Unlike some of the other “money” books I have read, this seems to have focus on getting away from consumerism, and figuring out when you have “enough”. I have been thinking along the same wavelength these past few years, so it would be interesting to see how it takes it further.

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

Picked up a wonderful illustrated edition of The King in Yellow. Yeah, I’m not sure that’s a good idea either. ;)

After reading The Lathe of Heaven I decided to explore more from Ursula K Le Guin. Now finishing The Left Hand of Darkness and next one is probably Always Coming Home but if you have any other recommendations they’re welcome.

Excellent book about an important and under studied period of history, and Katz’s modern-day trips to the areas Butler toured in his career to see how those events were still felt 100 years later were really outstanding
