I am reading mangas these days. Read first 4 volumes of Attack on Titans, but since I am reading these through 3-in-1 omnibus, going to read till 6th volume at least. Will decide the next book after that.

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

Have you read the witness stuff yet? I read the first butbhavnt started the second yet.

Its definitely not the same scale, but I got into Glenn Cooks black company from malazan and loved it!

Who wrote The Witness? Not an easy title to search for 😅

I read Black Company yeaaars ago and the grimdark and gritty writing definitely primed me for Malazan. I'll definitely look into it again!

I partly want 1000+ page epics for the dollar to hour ratio; trying to support my local bookstore but paying $20-30+ for paperbacks stings. The look on bookstore lady's face when I showed up for #4 a week after buying #3 was definitely worth it, though!
