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?

They changed quite a bit, but yes, The Meg (2018).

Jonas Taylor is the human protagonist and megalodon expert. Mac and Heller are approximately the same character as in the book. Most of the Japanese characters got changed to Chinese. The (ex-)Mrs. Taylor got completely remade. There are some other major plot adjustments.
