I am reading mangas these days. Read first 4 volumes of Attack on Titans, but since I am reading these through 3-in-1 omnibus, going to read till 6th volume at least. Will decide the next book after that.

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

It's time. I've started my annual trek through Middle-earth. I'm reading the first book of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. I've been looking forward to this all year long. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to lose myself in Eriador.

I'm on my second attempt at the Lord of the Rings. The first attempt was I think in middle school with a copy from the library.

I hope you enjoy it. At this point, having read it every year for like 20 years, I must conclude that it is my favourite book. That being said, Tolkien's writing, especially the slower pacing, is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, so don't feel bad if you just can't get into it. There's plenty of other great books to read.
