Finished Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. It was a surprisingly easy read, and while I remembered the main plot, I didn’t remember any of the details, so enjoyed the whole read.

Just finished the book moments ago (which is also why the thread is late), so haven’t yet decided what to read next.

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

    My curator (some might say wife) had me reading On Writing by Stephen King. I am definitely not a writer but I liked it and think his advice could apply in some form to a lot of creative endeavors. There are a lot of funny parts in the first section, and I liked the tone (I’ve never read a Stephen King book so I didn’t know what to expect). I thought it maybe got hung up too long on his hit-by-a-van episode, but that was still interesting.

    Now I’m reading How to become the Dark Lord and die trying by Django Wexler. The tone was off-putting at first (and it’s almost like he shook a salt shaker of “fucks” all around the first 10 pages for no reason), but 40 pages in its either mellowing or growing on me and I’m looking forward to the rest.
