Not much change at my end, still reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin.

Also started volume 7 of Jujitsu Kaisen manga, by Gege Akutami.

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

I'm currently reading Dune by Frank Herbert, halfway through the first book. It's great to compare to the latest Denis Villeneuve movies, how they adapted the story for the camera.

I got the nice leather bound version by Gollancz:

In parallel, when I'm doing work in the garden, I listen to the audiobook of The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin. Almost finished with the first part of the trilogy, it's very good. Some insight on the emergence of communism in China, and how the propaganda was inflicted on its citizens, at the expense of logic and science.

Buckle up, bud! Three body problem gets wild after the first book. The dark forest is my favorite but the 3rd book is phenomenal too. One of the few series I can think of where the first book is the weakest.

I heard the same opinion before, excited to discover the next parts, thanks! ^^

They were also pretty cheap, considering the quality! (ordered with Thalia)
