Started the next book in Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series, Cold Days
Since it’s the 14th book in the series, I can’t say much about it without spoiling what happened in the previous books, but things have become very interesting. Though, the more the things change, the more they stay the same, Harry is still out of his depth, and stakes are still sky high.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Pariah by Dan Fesperman.
Fesperman is probably the best espionage writer of the 21st Century.
This book is a crazy comedy. A Hollywood comic was about a year into his first Congressional term when an onset meltdown tape comes out and destroys both careers. He’s isolating on an island when the CIA comes to him and asks him to meet his No. 1 fan; the brutal dictator of a small European country.
Manges to be WTF and realistic at the same time.
Heh, this sounds fun.
For something more serious, try “The Warlord’s Son.”
In the run up the the 2003 Afghanistan Invasion a washed-up American reporter finds a local to smuggle him in to the war zone.
Not a big fan of real-world recent war stuff, but will look it up. Thanks for the recommendation!
Enjoy!
