Started Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Just started it, not much to say about it yet.

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

Recently started reading The Lives of Others by Neel Mukherjee. Trying to read authors from all around the world and this is my India book. Wild family saga that gets into history, traditional vs modern culture and religion, class politics. Really enjoying it so far.

Also listening to the audiobook of The Scar by China Miéville.

Still working my way through Contemporary Theological Approaches to Sexuality, ed. Lisa Isherwood and Dirk von Der Horst. I read a chapter yesterday about sex work, and there was a ton of discussion about Marxist economics. Today's chapter was about rape culture and virgin martyr sainthood in the Catholic church.

I just finished rereading LOTR for the first time in about 15 years, still great! But, as always, I would like to recommend The Long Ships.

"divided states of america" its a Polish book, I don't think it's available in English. it's about how the American society has became insanely divided and polarised over the last 3 decades
