Still reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy. Haven’t read much more since the last week, but the few pages I did read are still in old time, and while they are interesting for world building, I can’t make myself feel anything for characters that have been dead for 100 years, and have nothing to do with the “current” story. Still, like I said, going to read at least first 100 pages, and then see if I still want to continue.
Also started The Complete Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft. I have never gotten around to reading any of it, so wanted to read it all in published order. Couldn’t find any good collection in local store, so started downloading all his work (which is in public domain), but then found out about the ebook created by “CthulhuChick”, she has basically gone through what I was doing and compiled an ebook with his complete works, organized in published order (excluding his one story from very early days, and two other non-horror stories. Since I wanted to read those too, I just added them in myself).
So, enjoying this now. Have only read first couple of stories yet. Would love to see how his work evolves.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I’m reading a book on grief. Grief has been an important part of my life for a good long time now, but last year has been difficult. And things will only get worse in the next few years. I suppose I’m bracing myself, even if I know it doesn’t help much.
Don’t know what you are going through, but wish you good luck and hope things improve for you soon.
