After finishing it, I wanted to focus on the other books I was reading but the ending made me start the Mistborn: Secret Histories novella right away.

The novella takes place in Era 1 (at least as far as I have read) but the recommended order is after The Bands of Mourning, as mentioned at the end of the book. Pretty interesting so far.

Still Readings Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken and The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Caroll, but at very slow pace. Going to focus on them one at a time to speed them up.

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

Finished: Foundation by Asimov. Pretty great, I liked the repeated theme that violence is just a bad solution, not a "wrong" one. You can sit around arguing philosophy all day, but if one path involves death and destruction and the other avoids it then it's hard to argue with results

In progress: Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama. I got a color e-reader for Christmas so I've been seeing what Manga is like on it. It's funny and plays pretty fast and loose with its own rules. It's also much faster than watching the show

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

Did you read the trilogy? And/or the broader universe?

I read Foundations as a start, then went and read the rest of his universe, and a bunch of his other works too!

Love the entire DB universe, I own the omnis for DB but sold the DBZ ones ages ago. Wish I didn’t.

It’s raunchy and I love it. I had to warn my niece about gokus balls when I lent it to her, you know what I’m referring too…

Foundation was for my bookclub so I just read that. I have read I, Robot and Nightfall and do like Asimov in general, I may come back to the series time permitting

There have been multiple times reading DB that I had to remind myself it was written by a dude in Japan in the 80s who had no idea it would be popular, let alone become a global phenomenon. Roshi and Bulma early on is a little gross, and Goku is way too fascinated with people's groins. It's still pretty fun
