I am trying to finish the Call of Cthulhu... and I not sure whether I will finish or not.
Listening and reading depending on what I'm doing is Magicians Master by Raymond E Feist and reading Ghost Brigade by John Scalzi
I am reading Abbadon's Gate, Book 3 of The Expanse, maybe 4/5ths through. First time reading.
I am listening to Knife of Dreams, book 11 of WoT, maybe halfwayish. Have read this series before, but having a listen with a friend for his first time.
Just finished The Paradox Paradox by Daniel Hardcastle (aka Nerdcubed) and it is by far one of the most entertaining books I've read in years. After getting outright robbed by his publisher, he's regained the rights and put it up on his Patreon as an epub version for a few bucks, and I can't recommend it highly enough. It genuinely surprised me how good it is for a first novel from a dude I've been watching faff about in video games for many years.
Started on his earlier book Fuck Yeah, Video Games which is a kind of autobiography through the lense of beloved video games from his life in non-chronological order, which is very charming and funny.
Also dipping into Mr. Wilman's Motoring Adventure by Andy Wilman - a behind the scenes look at Top Gear and The Grand Tour, which is also pretty funny so far, as well as the Yes, Prime Minister book, after recently finishing the Yes, Minister book - both brilliant adaptations of the TV shows.
I like funny books.
A conspiracy of friends have me reading LitRPGs right now, so I'm reading the second Book of the Dead by RinoZ right now, and listening to He Who Fights With Monsters.
Are these any good? I've read books by a few writers last year who seem to churn out 3-4 books a year, and reading them you can tell they didn't spend time proof reading or developing the plot.
As with any genre, some authors are stronger than others. There's a lot of trash, but there's some really good stuff as well. Dungeon Crawler Carl, for example, has my highest recommendation.
I like DCC, but Matt Dinniman doesn't seem to publish three books a year, where RinoZ does. I should've clarified I was worried about the quantity vs quality.
Finished "Star smashers of the galaxy rangers" by Harry Harrison. Great book, especially the satirical overly stereotyping. Now reading "the stainless steel rat"by the same author. His books are ok for some easy reading, and I don't have anything else in the TBR pile at the moment. Which is good on both accounts, since at the moment I can only find the time to read a few pages before going to sleep.
Reading: Minding Frankie by Maeve Binchy
And listening to: Doom Guy Life in First Person by John Romero.
On my 5th book of year reading 2nd for audiobooks.
