Reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). About halfway through the book, things are getting interesting, mainly because we are learning more of the world and how it works, still no solution to actual problem though, but I doubt we will get it before the end.

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

I am currently reading The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco.

Thought about reading it in Italian as I am fluent enough, but boy am I glad I am not. Even in English it’s quite the read.

While I understand some of the criticisms around the various diatribes Adso goes on, I think it adds a nice texture. I think the Aristotelian dialogue is fascinating and paints quite a cool picture.
