Reading the third book in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, Tripwire

Liking this more than the second book. Reacher was very passive in that book, so it's nice to see him taking action in this one.

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

Reacher series is quite a nice read, except for a few. I've read the long earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter in the last two weeks. The books start slow, but are great page turners. Yesterday I started "Children of time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I had the book on my e-reader for some time, so I decided I should start reading it allready. Normally I'm more for the space opera type of books, so I'll see what I make of it.

I have a Baxter and Arthur C. Clarke's novel, didn't know he also wrote with Pratchett, will take a look.

Children of Time series is pretty well liked here, so would love to hear if you don't like it.
