Another week where I didn't get to read anything.

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

I decided it is time to go through Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. This will be the sixth time for me. It is the best of the best.

I recently finished Stephen King's Dark Tower series. I have never had such a rocky reading experience. Over all I enjoyed it but it was a very mixed bag. Some of the books were just okay, one or two were excellent, and at least one was truly terrible.

I'm listening to WoT with a friend, it's my second go through. Read it first time, and reading is preference, but the narrators do a nice job, and I can't read and run.

Dark Tower has been on my list but I've never seemed to get around to it. And I've read and enjoyed some King, but I have also not enjoyed some.

Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are pretty much the gold standard in the industry. Kramer is still kind of finding his voice for the first few books though
