Reading: The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson.

Nothing new at my end. Had another busy work week, didn't get time to read anything. It is over now though, so should be able to finish it this week.

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

I just downloaded this and I am going to give it a listen starting this evening.

Update: I listened to the first chapter last night and I was hooked almost immediately.

The first chapter is about one Green Beret killing a Delta Force member after they had spent a long weekend with their families at Disney World.

They spent the entire trip at Disney world drinking, snorting coke and shoving speedballs up their asses. Apparently doing a speedball in the ass makes for a really intense high.

After driving home, both of thier wives went shopping and left their daughters with the fathers.

Anyway one of them became uber paranoid and was convinced there was a listening device hidden in the car and started dismantling the car in the drive way.

The other tried to stop him and things escalated and one shot the other to death.

I mean holy hell the SF community is not portrayed in the best light, which does not surprise me. Super secret societies tend to go dark really fast.

I actually remember when that murder happened. I am really interested where this book is going to go.
