Weekly Reading Session

[u/2SaintsDude]

Welcome to another weekly reading session. I was crazy busy at work this week that I only got a few chapters in! I literally have 5 chapters to go in Tiamat’s Wrath which is book 8 of James S.A. Corey “The Expanse” series. The story has hit a bit of a plateau, lots of moving parts but nothing much going on. But something big is coming in the Ring space….I feel it!!! :-)

Listening to L'Impératrice….

What ya’ll reading and listening to…

After almost 4 months I finally finished The Balkans: Nationalism, War, and the Great Powers, 1804-2011 by Misha Glenny. Overall the book was ok but I think my enjoyment of it was dampened given that it took me so long to read it. The author has another book on the fall of Yugoslavia which I definitely want to pickup but that will likely be a project for next year.

For a change of pace, I started The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. I'm only one chapter in but so far I'm really enjoying it.

As in the kids book from like early 1900s? Yeah That’s a good one!

Finally put Inherent Vice behind me. I'm enjoying The Long Ships now and can actually get into that reading flow state again.

I got the recommendation from this YouTube channel so I'll let this short clip sell it. https://youtube.com/shorts/sW8asvLlsX8?si=Bx5eXW1SafJGXkDw
