Finished The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 in the Mistborn series. What I remembered of the ending, was actually 100 pages before the actual end, so was fun reading that.

Currently Reading Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore. Didn't like the start, but I am about halfway through and enjoying it now. It says it's "comedy horror", but I am just not getting the comedy part, which is probably why I didn't like the start, I think. The story itself is interesting enough though.

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

There's a Midyear Bingo check-in post, do take a look. Even if you haven't started this year's Book Bingo, you can still join, as there are still 6 months remaining!

For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.

In his own unique way, Conan makes no distinction between people. No one is judged as good or bad without action deserving of such and even then, in a dire moment, a known enemy is preferable over an unknown danger.

He also often criticizes civilization over traditions and laws that bar people from being truly free, when the so called civilized call him barbarian.

There is more depth in those works than many care to consider.

I totally agree. The books are a philosophical statement.
