A day late, but better late than never!

I finished Grave Peril, third book of Dresden Files, by Jim Butcher. The series has start picking up. This book is much higher quality than the first two.

Currently, I am reading two books.

  • The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. I have been using bullet journal for nearly a decade, but never got around to reading the book, so finally got it. While there's nothing new in the method, the "why" are interesting, and should help me be more productive.

  • Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Man, what a book. I think this is one of the best book I have read recently. I am more than half-way, and loving every moment of it.

What about all of you? What have you been reading?

Alastair Reynolds' Revenger trilogy. I guess I'll finish Bone Silence this evening and Shadow Captain this weekend.

I have never read anything by Alastair Reynolds. How are you liking the series?

It differs greatly from his "Revelation space" books, but so far it has been a real page turner. Almost sail-punk with low tech space travel instead of his normal nanomachine shenanigans. And setting it to a very far future amidst whats left of once highly developed string of civilizations has a lot of potential for future world building.

Interesting. Thanks for the feedback! Going to check them out.
