Life is still pretty busy, not getting much time for Lemmy, but at least got some time to read now.
Still reading Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore. Book 2 of the series. Am more than halfway through now, if nothing comes up, should be able to finish it this week.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I came across the TV Series Dark Matter and was reading the Reddit Q&A thread about some plot points in the story, and found out about Blake Crouch’s other story Recursion that doesn’t have a film/TV adaptation, so… even as someone who doesn’t usually read books, I kinda just had to read (with the Audiobook going along with it) it to get the story out of it. Played the audiobook at 1.2 speed (I don’t have patience lol), and fismnished it within the past few days.
It was a great Time Travel story with unique time travel rules/concepts I’ve never heard of in anything I’ve read/watched before. Although reading through this… I kinda remembered why I usually don’t read books, I have a hard time visualizing the scenes.
Lot of time travel, mystery, conspiracy, government involvement, war, doomsday, time loops (probably where the title came from), and most importantly, the ideas of identity and memory.
I’m not sure if I like the characters, I mostly just liked the story, like I’m obsessed with time travel.
Now I realize there are a lot of stories that simply just doesn’t have adaptations, and even as someone who loves video media (again, I have hard time visualizing stuff), I’m kinda forced to start reading, in order to enjoy all those stories out there without any adaptations.
TLDR: Recursion - Great story, I hope to see a TV Series out of it.
