What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? July 23 - eviltoast

Still reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin. There are some interesting points in it, though not implementing anything right now, just reading the book.

Finished volume 7 of Jujitsu Kaisen manga, by Gege Akutami.

Started The Passage by Justin Cronin. Saw it recommended here a few times, and ordered the trilogy, books are so much longer than I expected. Each book can probably be divided in 2 and still be on slightly thicker end of average book size. I am still at the start, only 60-70 pages yet. Getting a slight feel of Stephen King books. Let’s see how it progresses.

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

    Currently trying to decide on a discworld starting point. I haven’t read any yet but am thinking about Guard Guard as my first but then idk if i should continue with the nightwatch storyline or read multiple storylines at once.

      I prefer to read Discworld chronologically via the publication date. Unfortunately, that makes the end hit that much harder, but I still prefer it.

        Ive been told to skip the first few books because it would set the wrong impression for the series.

          The first couple of books are definitely the weakest. But if you have made up your mind and are in for a long haul, it’s not a bad place to start.

          But yeah, when recommending Discworld to someone who is going to judge the entire series on his first book, there are much better starting points, like Guards Guards!
