I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

I’m not reading par se but I’m an audiobook fan and also a fan of the Star Wars Expanded Universe (Legends). I’m enjoying listening to the new recordings of the first Thrawn trilogy.

These re-recordings will probably be the last of its kind, given Disney’s declaration of non-canon.

Audiobooks definitely count as reading.

When people say they "enjoy reading" they are almost certainly not saying they "enjoy dragging their eyes across a page of text." If you're getting the content into your brain, you're reading!
