Readings:

Still the same books as last week. I don't think it was a good idea to start 3 books at once, I am probably going to focus of Bands of Mourning, which has become really interesting. Still have about 1/3rd of the book to go though.

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

just finishing Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. it's definitely taken me a lot longer than i would have liked, but between moving to a new city, a new job, and other hobbies/interests, it's taken me a month and a half

going through some sci-fi i've been wanting to read for a while, so next is either Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Project Hail Mary, or There is no Antimemetics Division

I finished The Button: The New Nuclear Arms Race and Presidential Power from Truman to Trump, by William J. Perry and Tom Z. Collina. So, this is my first non-fiction of 2026 and I found it very interesting but also a bit frightening (especially in regards to recent events, this book is from 2020). I think this is a must read to understand many of the geopolitical stakes of today.

After that, I started (and still reading) The Passage, by Justin Cronin. So far very very good and I'm just at chapter 3.
