I have been a bit busy, and with not too much motivation to do much, so am still at the same place as last week.
Still reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn.
I did read a bit more of it though, and it was interesting to see the antagonist and some of the other characters who appeared.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it’s Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.
“Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World” by Vivek H. Murthy
Been looking for something to read after “Bowling Alone”. “Together” is not as dry-sciency as the book by Putnam though it jumps to “evolutionary psychology” conclusions too quickly at times. The anecdotes are so overly positive that sometimes they’re hard to believe.
My personality for the longer while has been “guy who read Bowling Alone recently”. I started to drink cofee at the bar rather than go sit down. I’ve watched Quadrophenia (set in 1964) recently and the scene with the big ballroom dance party (i.e. people socializing) gave me “look what they took from you” vibes.
