What's everyone reading? I'm on book 10 of the Wheel of Time, and Creatures of Light and Darkness by Alan Dean Foster

It's mostly written as an epistolary novella, and at times is very poetic

Dang, that sounds......totally up my alley!

Re:WoT

I mostly only have time to read omw to/from work, so even though it was all I was reading, it only got maybe an hour or two a day of my attention. And broken up attention at that, what with changing buses and trains, walking between etc etc.

I did WoT mostly the same! I was reading on my breaks at work, and a bit at home, and I was doing about one book a month. Eventually my work allowed us to use headphones while we worked, so I switched to the audiobook versions and absolutely blazed through Path of Daggers, Winter's Heart, and Crossroads of Twilight, the shortest in about two days. After becoming alarmed at how quickly I went through those, I switched back to just reading, and did the rest like that. I find it's good to savour them, and have more time to process everything. Enjoy the rest of your WoT journey! It's a good one!

I'm going to need to get the last 5 books, I've been buying them in chunks of 5. I also don't really want to give amazon more money, so I'll have to look around for somewhere else to buy the ebooks....
