It has been a while. I have been pretty, and haven't been around much.

As for the books, I am still in the same place, reading Book 2 of Confederation The Better Part of Valour by Tanya Huff. Though I did spend some time reading a web novel, Book Eater, author is 메켄로 and translator is RainbowTurtle.

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

I'm having a plague phase. Recently read the plague by Camus, then Daniel Defoe's diary of a plague year. Now I'm reading the great mortality by John Kerry. I'm only about a third in but it feels like an approachable history of plague. I find something horribly fascinating about plague. It was maybe the worst shit we've ever had to deal with as a species, truly apocalyptic.

The Last Podcast on the Left did an incredible series on the Black Plague. I know this is a book thread but it reminded me because The Great Mortality is one of the primary sources on it.

Cheers I'll give it a try, I listen to podcasts at work.
