Still reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy, so no change there.
It has become quite interesting though (or maybe it’s just the Stockholm syndrome talking), I am in last 1/3 or maybe 1/4th of the book, and things have started to get together, though I still don’t know what’s the goal in this book. From all I have read, this seems to just be a ‘middle’ book whose purpose is to explore the world and take us from book 1 to book 3 where everything will be concluded.
Let’s see how I feel by the time I finish it.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

About to start reading Ursula Le Guin’s The Dispossessed after finishing Frederik Pohl’s The Merchants of Venus, which was an incredibly well done little novella about a shady tour guide giving rich clients a chance at discovering riches on Venus.
The Dispossessed is generally regarded as some of the best Anarchist sci-fi around, depicting how that society could potentially look like in practice. I anticipate It’ll be quite good.
I have read some of Ursula Le Guin’s, but I don’t think I have read The Dispossessed. Or any book in the Hainish Cycle. Should check them out.
