Nothing at the moment! I just had to say that!

Only because she's ahead of me after reading Lords and Ladies and Soul Music, while I'm still trying to keep up.

I am still reading ‘Shogun’, it is very good so far.
I am listening to ‘The Ardent Swarm’ by Yemen Manai. It is a charming book about a Tunisian beekeeper. The townspeople are delightful.
Also listening to ‘Ymir’ by Rich Larson. It is a loose retelling of the Beowulf story set on a mining planet in the far future.

I finished up Skin Game (The Dresden Files #15) by Jim Butcher. Another great entry in the series.
I just realized, this is the most books in a single author series I've ever read. The closest other series are the Harry Potter books with 7, and a couple of Bruce Coville's series that I read as a kid had 5 or 6 books.

Stephen King’s new book ‘Fairy Tale’. Very enjoyable so far.
Yesterday I started the first Jim Henson's The Storyteller graphic novel. I'm a little over half way through it, and it's been pretty good so far. My only problem with it is that I just wish the stories were a little long.
The rest of The Storyteller comics were miniseries, instead of individual graphic novels, with each full issue telling one story, so it shouldn't be as much as an issue with them.

Heh.
Finishing up The Last Light of the Sun by Guy Gavriel Kay- my second reading of that one.
I've also been cherry-picking various chapters of the Silmarillion and the appendices of LOTR this past week to verify all the lore Rings of Power is borking up.
Getting ready to start either a first reading of the Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay or a third reading of Le Morte D'Arthur. I'll probably do both and take the latter in smaller bites. The first is on my kindle, the second is a leather bound hardcover I'm not dragging on the road with me, so I'll read one at home and the other at work.

Peter Straub has passed away. S. T. Joshi has a nice write up.

To answer the topic question: right now, I'm reading messages on this forum (and writing my own).
I prefer hardcover books to paperbacks, they feel more substantial but that's probably a perception thing I guess.
I'm quarter of the way through a book called The New Breed by Dr. Kate Darling about robotics, it's witty, fun, and enjoyable so far.

A fantasy webcomic called Out-of-Placers
Back at the beginning of the month, I decided to start rereading and doing a first reading of the JRR Tolkien's Middle Earth books. Right now I'm 210 pages into The Hobbit.
I've read The Hobbit once, and The Fellowship of The Ring, and the first half of the Two Towers twice. Both times I started The Two Towers, I got bored at same point, about half-way through the Frodo, Sam, and Gollum half, and gave up. I'm a lot more patient now, so I'm hoping this time I'll make it all the way through Two Towers, and The Return of The King. I'm thinking about giving The Silmarillion (not sure if I spelled that right) a try after I get through The Lord of The Rings.

Been reading West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge. Historical fiction about the transportation of two giraffes from NY to San Diego via truck. It's very good and quite entertaining.
