Finished Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.

I didn't realise second half will also feature Iran and the life after revolution. A very interesting look at part of recent history I knew nothing about. Highly recommended if you don't mind graphic novels and memoirs.

Also read Old Man's War by John Scalzi.

This is my second book by Scalzi and he is reaching status of my favourite author. It's an easy to read space, military sci-fi. Another highly recommended book for sci-fi fans.

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

Still on that Deathlands train. I literally just finished 128. I'm coming to the end of the currently released books now though, I have "Outlanders" a spin off series ready and I also just found out there is another spin off series called "Trader" about a regularly referenced character so I have the first 5 books of that ready to go.

Nooo! Deathlands ending! Well, at least there are the spin-off series. How long are they?

Outlanders has around 50 and Trader has 5, so a little bit more after.

Maybe I should take a break.....

Or you can just finish them all first 😀
