Still reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin. There are some interesting points in it, though not implementing anything right now, just reading the book.
Finished volume 7 of Jujitsu Kaisen manga, by Gege Akutami.
Started The Passage by Justin Cronin. Saw it recommended here a few times, and ordered the trilogy, books are so much longer than I expected. Each book can probably be divided in 2 and still be on slightly thicker end of average book size. I am still at the start, only 60-70 pages yet. Getting a slight feel of Stephen King books. Let's see how it progresses.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Just finished Germinal by Émile Zola and wow, it became one of my favorite novels. Fairly depressing but it's interesting to see how we're still dealing with the same issues of workers rights. It is good to see we've come a long way from the situation in the 1800s coal mines, though. Also a lot more sex and fairly graphic violence than I was expecting from a book of that era.
Reading the first Mistborn book now and am about 2/3rds through. Not bad for a filler book (especially after a heavy one like Germinal), but pretty meh overall, especially the writing and characterizations. I'm a little surprised it's so loved to be honest.
Just looked up Germinal and the idea of whole series look pretty interesting. Have you read other books in the series or just read Germinal?
Writing and characterization are often cited as weak parts of Mistborn, I still liked it though, but it has been quite a while since I read it. BTW this is Sanderson's earlier work, so If you like the worldbuilding and the overall story, you can try some of his later books.
