Very busy couple of weeks, so didn't actually read anything.

Still on Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore, 2nd novel in Icewind Dale series, which is a subseries of Forgotten Realms series (D&D world).

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

Just started The Orb of Cairado by Katherine Addison, as a palate cleanser. I expect it'll be cozy.

Finished Fever House by Ken Rosson. This started very fast-paced, but (imo) got bogged down by (interesting) flashbacks. I enjoyed it, but would have liked it to be shorter, somehow. Not sure I'll read the sequel, since this one swerved into a sub-genre I don't usually go for.

Can't believe I never got around to it on the first go-round, but Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity."

Listening to the Salvation sequence by Peter F Hamilton.

And reading, A most elegant equation by David Stipp.

I'm still reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. My area had some unexpected weather a couple weeks ago so I've been off my usual routine.

The book is good and I'm about half way through. I want to finish it by tomorrow.

Nice. I should read it sometimes too. It has been on my backlog for so long.
