Still reading the third book in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, Tripwire. More than half-way through, closer to 2/3rd actually.

Not much to say about it. It's bad guy being a bad guy and Reacher being Reacher. Some interesting side characters, would love to see if it means any character development or not.

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

Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. My understanding is that it is a woefully misunderstood book, and that people keep getting angry with the content without understanding it (or worse, without reading it).

So far, I actually really like it just a handful of chapters in. I think they make incredibly salient points and have very convincing rationales.

    My sister is currently reading this and is going to lend it to me after shes done. I'm looking forward to sitting down and reading it because all I hear is that the online discourse completely misrepresents the book to the point where you know they haven't read it.
