What does "&c" mean? It's an old-fashioned abbreviation for et cetera.

[Sometimes-weekly thread] What are you reading? 18th of September (discuss.online)

Copying from the weekly thread, over at [email protected] :

Finished Summer Knight by Jim Butcher. Fourth book of The Dresden Files. Things keep getting worse, stakes keep getting higher, Harry keep going through hell. Same old, same old.

Currently Reading Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King. It was recommended on reddit for books similar to the comic Y: The Last Man. I didn’t used to like Stephen King much before, but I can understand why. Book is 700 pages long, and first 100 or so pages were pretty much just a set up. I didn’t use to have patience for such slow books in my youth, though I am enjoying it now.

What about you guys? What have you been reading?

P.S: I have mentioned the [email protected] (and the weekly thread) a few times here. Didn't see any rules against that, and am just trying to increase engagement for books-related communities, but if there's any issue with that, I can stop doing it. (Disclaimer, I am a mod there)

I think middle parts suffer in most long series. I don't recall much from the Oathbringer though, but I remember liking it when I read it. May notice the issues during re-read.

And yeah, loving the secret projects. I think we needed these from him as much as he needed to write these. 😀
