Weekly post was a bit irregular last few weeks, but we are back to Tuesday now.

Got back to reading, read a bit of Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore, also read a few hundred pages of different web novels.

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

Finished "the colapsing empire" by John Scalzi. It was okay, but too much world building and too little story for my taste. Overall I liked it less than any book in his "old man's war" series. I then read "Saturn's children" by Charles Stross. Nice book, got through it pretty fast. I also might have skimmed through some pars where it got too technical. Then I read "red shirts" by John Scalzi, which was a great little book, just finished it today. I find with John Scalzi it's kind of hit or miss for me. I'm now starting "Neptunes brood" by Charles Stross, so will report on that next week.

Alternating between Scalzi and Stross? Nice.
