As for books, reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). Didn’t get much time, but slowly making progress.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
8·11 days ago- Tolkien, ‘The Hobbit’. A re-read, started last night.
- If I can get my hands on an English edition at a reasonable price, next I would like to read Narnia (the full cycle). As a non-believer myself, I have a lot of respect for CS Lewis as an essayist (pieces like ‘The Abolition of Man’ is an almost perfect description of why/how most Western educative systems are indeed failing and, well, most of what I’ve read even when he focuses on spirituality was quite… rich and stimulating), and I would like to see how =I will appreciate his work as a novelist :)
- Just finished the first volume of the French edition of Cordwainer Smith ‘Instrumentality of Mankind’ which I started almost by accident and ended-up liking so much I ordered the next 3 volumes of that translation (I was not able to find an English edition). Fascinating work.
