Finished The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 in the Mistborn series. What I remembered of the ending, was actually 100 pages before the actual end, so was fun reading that.

Currently Reading Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore. Didn't like the start, but I am about halfway through and enjoying it now. It says it's "comedy horror", but I am just not getting the comedy part, which is probably why I didn't like the start, I think. The story itself is interesting enough though.

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

i loved frugal wizard. i had a blast reading it, no notes. i don't even know what you mean. i found it very entertaining. better than 6th of the dusk (but i'm not a big fan of the "short stories") and Steelheart seems a bit over the top for me, but i'm not through yet.

Like I said, it's good. But all 3 other secret projects are a lot better. And Stormlight, Mistborn, Elantris, Warbreaker. He just has so many masterpiece level works to compare it to.
