Reading Fated by Benedict Jacka, first book in his urban fantasy series Alex Verus.

It is interesting to see how different Alex is from Dresden, both are very different kind of mages, though both have their own issues with their respective councils.

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

Going to revisit McCain’s Promise aka the expanded/standalone “Up, Simba!” nonfiction by David Foster Wallace, given the midterms here in the US. Very interesting examination of the traditional campaign trail, and how the ideological veil starts to fall apart in ways the rallygoers don’t see from only one night or from the front end (Wallace readily admits he’s seeing things from the side rather than from “behind the scenes”).
