Finished The Novice by Trudi Canavan. The second book in The Black Magician trilogy.

Found the second half to be more interesting than the first half, but that is probably just me.

Started Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman, book 2 of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

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

Rationality: From AI to Zombies, so far it's alright, bunch of blog posts turned into a book.

I'm a fan of thinking fast and slow (even though it's got some issues), and lots of the blog posts use the work from that book as a basis; which is fine... but it's got this "i'm just learned that i'm an athiest and need to convince everyone else that they are wrong" vibe to it (I was there, i get it!) that's really tiring. I'm only 1/4 into it not sure if i'll make it the rest of the way.

I guess i'm also a bit put off by it cause these guys were funded by peter theil (sp?), who's a well known piece of shit. also it influenced the zizians...
