That's a really fun series, and it only gets better.

The title of my post is "Now NOT Reading..." I have The Name of the Wind, by Rothfuss, sitting on my night stand about one-third read. I have been working on it since the summer. Sigh. My daily time management (or lack of it) has shifted so much over the last couple of years that my novel-reading has basically ceased. I just don't find large chunks of time available to make any headway on a novel. If I try to read at bedtime, I'm asleep in 5 minutes.

On the other hand, my consumption of comics and graphic novels has skyrocketed, for the same time-management reasons. Those can be finished in much shorter time intervals. Have 10 minutes before the kids get home? Read a comic. A nice bathroom break is imminent? Grab a graphic novel.

My favorite leisure hobbies have always been reading, movies / TV, and music. At any one time, I always had time to do really well on 2 of the three, and the third would lag behind. With the ease of watching things by streaming now, and since I can multitask while watching things, movies & TV are still a big thing. My "reading" has split into two sub-hobbies, books and comics; right now, comics are winning out. And my only real time to absorb music is in the car, so that has faded almost to oblivion, too.

If I ever do finish Name of the Wind, I know that the sequel is even longer, and so I would be hesitant to start it. Check with me at PP XV to see if I got it done

Republic of Thieves comes out tomorrow. In hardcover.

For the Kindle? On the 10th. WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT, AMAZON.

Edit: huh. I just pre-ordered it, grumbling that I had to wait two days, and now the date says it will be delivered on the 8th. Okay, good, but *facepalm*

It's a really dry read, and has a lousy beat..

Just finished.



I don't believe I have ever read an autobiography in which the person talked so much about themselves. But if you don't already know it, he does tell you over and over again about how good he is. He explains how he unleashes the fury and the plane (though not very well), and I was suprised there was no mention of doughnuts.
After the Steeler and Alktrazz stuff I really started to lose interest.

Now reading

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet:

Haven't cracked it yet, I have a library book to finish off first that's due very soon, but after that...
