Finished The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy! Finally!
It was interesting read, but too long. Too much back story and details that could have been condensed quite a bit. As it is, I didn’t like the fist quarter, second quarter was okay, third was interesting, and really enjoyed the last one.
Still one book remaining in the trilogy, but need a break, will come back to after a little while.
Read some more stories from The Complete Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft.
Now reading The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).
It’s my first Drizzt, and first D&D novel and has been on my wishlist for a very long time. Just started it so can’t really say much about it, but enjoying it so far.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I might be in the minority on this, but even though the story arc is VERY unfinished, I still came away with the feeling that I just read some great stories, I know (and like) the main character very well, many of the 2000 pages made me smile broadly and/or well up with tears a few times. No regrets here, even if bk 3 never comes out. But I also do totally hear you. It’ll be worth the wait (and it’s gotta be coming… someday… lol).
