Started next book in the Dresden Files series, Ghost Story by Jim Butcher. This is book 13, and is pretty unique so far. The previous book "Changes" has changed quite a bit, and now we are living those changes.

Can't put it down, want to see how it develops!

My previous book, Streams of Silver covers 2 bingo squares: Title: [X] of [Y] and Off your TBR pile (hard mode).

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

Homage To Catalonia is my favorite book. It should be mandatory reading before anyone touches 1984 or Animal Farm

    It is so good. The opening little thing about the Italian militiaman just sucks you right in and then it just gets better.

    I think about that scene everytime i have a great encounter with a stranger or look at an interesting map. I probably read (a heavily edited and censored verison) that book 20 times in high school. He has such an English take on the Spanish: eternally frustrated by their carefree attitude while simultaneously enamored with it. There is nothing else like it.
