Reading The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson. His fourth and final standalone Cosmere "secret project" novel.

I am about 1/4th through, and it's interesting to see how connected this is with Cosmere, unlike the first 3 books. I think this book should be read after you have read at least 1 book of The Stormlight Archive. Looking forward to seeing if we learn anything else in it.

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

Anything by Timothy Zahn is solid, especially the original legends Thrawn trilogy.

It’s hard to recommend since there’s so much that covers different eras and genres. You got spy books, horror stories, cops, smugglers, cartels, etc.

Find an era you like, pick a genre, and go? Some arcs are like 10 books though, the X-wing series being one of them iirc, but that’s in the last era so I’m no where close to reading them yet. As I’m reading them in “chronological order” from The Old Republic, where you have great sith lore like Bane and his rule of two, I’m currently between episode 4 and 5 for my current place.

The current Timothy Zahn books I’m reading are essentially a direct sequel with Luke and Han and some storm troopers right after Death Star one destruction.
