Still the same books as last week. I don't think it was a good idea to start 3 books at once, I am probably going to focus of Bands of Mourning, which has become really interesting. Still have about 1/3rd of the book to go though.

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

Started The Hour Of The Predator by Da Empoli. He has so far described MBS' rise to power in the kindom of Saud, and drawing parallels to Cesare Borgia. A bit too much sideroads into the author's official work with politicians, mainly to establish his authority on the subject, but that seems to dissipate after a while.
