Started next book in the Dresden Files series, Ghost Story by Jim Butcher. This is book 13, and is pretty unique so far. The previous book "Changes" has changed quite a bit, and now we are living those changes.

Can't put it down, want to see how it develops!

My previous book, Streams of Silver covers 2 bingo squares: Title: [X] of [Y] and Off your TBR pile (hard mode).

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

Still reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck.

I in fact did not start those two other books I had mentioned previously. I think I'll enjoy them more if I read them on my own time instead of feeling pressured by a book club.

Today, for some reason, I decided I wanted to learn about making a water well. So I'm about to read that section from Back to Basics: A Complete Guide to Traditional Skills by Abigail R. Gehring

East of Eden took me months to read a couple years back. It's good and engaging, but it's so dense and full of sidestories that have nothing to do with the matter at hand

Yeah, it's definitely not a light read. Really good though.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit myself. This is the first Steinbeck that I've read and I'll probably end up reading some of his other works.

I also enjoyed it. I was mainly saying don't feel bad that it is taking awhile to read. It's dense and challenging and takesoat people a long time to read. I'll have to read Grapes of Wrath at some point, but i have sich a huge backlog as is
