The silver lining is, I don't have to stay "still reading" for yet another week, as I finally finished Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Yet another case involving magic in London and the Police solving it.

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

Recently started We Were Eight Years in Power by Ta-Nehisi Coates. It feels quite apt in the current moment.

Prophet of Discontent by Douglas and Loggins.

It's about MLK and his place in the tradition of American black radical thought. It's pretty academic and dives straight into the race/class Marxist discourse. Which is catnip for weirdos like me.

Just finished my 2nd listen of Handmaids Tale. I'm rinsing myself off with some Discworld.

Next up will be A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny. I got turned onto it last year and it became an annual tradition instantly. It's 31 chapters (short ones) and you do one a day starting on the 1st.
