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?

Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky. The book that inspired the game. All the characters are so, so wordy, but I'm enjoying it.

It's on my wishlist, didn't like the game much, but the lore seemed interesting specially near the end of first game and in second game. Though having straight up Nazis didn't feel very creative, but maybe they make more sense in the books.

There's a kind of 'repeating the mistakes of the past' theme.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
