What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? October 15 - eviltoast

Finished The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy! Finally!

It was interesting read, but too long. Too much back story and details that could have been condensed quite a bit. As it is, I didn’t like the fist quarter, second quarter was okay, third was interesting, and really enjoyed the last one.

Still one book remaining in the trilogy, but need a break, will come back to after a little while.

Read some more stories from The Complete Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft.

Now reading The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).

It’s my first Drizzt, and first D&D novel and has been on my wishlist for a very long time. Just started it so can’t really say much about it, but enjoying it so far.

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

    That’s an interesting concept. Though they synopsis just reminded me of a horror-ish short story I read about similar topic, so not happy about that.

      There’s a black Mirror episode where they make a cookie and the make it into the brain of a smart home / assistant of their real self. Don’t remember the episode, but a horrific concept considering how they make the cookie comply by essentially torturing it.
