Not much change at my end, still reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin.

Also started volume 7 of Jujitsu Kaisen manga, by Gege Akutami.

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

On Monday, I finished The Winter of the Witch, the last in Katherine Arden's Winternight Trilogy - it was absolutely fantastic from front to back. Last night I picked up The Time Traveler - I got a physical copy for super cheap from a second hand book store. I've never read it, so I'm excited to see how it reads. So far, it's pretty good - a bit pretentious in some of the word choice, maybe, but I suppose that's kind of to be expected.

Without giving any spoilers, did that character got his well deserved comeuppance? 😀

The Time Traveler by H. G. Wells? I remember reading it a long long time ago and liking it, though don't remember most of it now.

Very much so, although the author manages to make it much more poignant than I expected, but it was for good reasons.

Yeah, H.G. Wells. I finished it a couple nights ago. It's very... Pompous? It's so over the top that it wouldn't surprise me if it was actually supposed to be satire... but I don't think it was. I'm glad I read it, but I highly doubt I'll ever pick it up again. Oh, and it's The Time Machine, not Traveler - sorry for the brain fart.

lol, yeah, I didn't even remember the name 😀

I pretty much read all my H. G. Wells in my very young days, and haven't gone back to them after that. May pick it up again to see how I feel about it now.
