Finished What If? by Randall Munroe.

Highly recommended for people who like science, and fun.

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

I'm about halfway through the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. It has a vibe similar to the Kingkiller Chronicle but it has an actual conclusion to the story. So far it's been very entertaining with a story full of medieval fantasy court intrigue, a mystery of raiders turning their victims to sociopaths, and a light sprinkling of magic.

    I'm jealous that you get to read them for the first time. Phenomenal series, might be my favorite. I love the jumping back and forth between the storylines. The story from Fitz's point of view is so dark, and then you go to the traders and it has such a different vibe.

    If you carry on past the first trilogy (which I highly recommend) prepare to have your heart ripped open and stamped on. No spoilers, but that boy suffers.

    These aren't happy books, and things become worse with time, I am glad I didn't continue the series. :-(
