I'm also reading The Way of Kings, which I started back in like July. I'm in more of a podcast phase at the moment, I've finished one book so far this year as opposed to the 20 or so I'd read by this point last year 🤷♂️
That explains why I haven't seen you around. 😀
Happens to me sometimes too, The Better Part of Valor that I was finished couple of weeks ago, took me couple of months, I think. And it was only 300 or so pages. The Way of Kings on the other hand is a pretty meatier book, which I have to re-read soon to get ready for the upcoming fifth book!
What podcasts are you listening to these days? I used to listen to a few during commute, but now that I (luckily) work from home, haven't listened to one in a long time.
Sorry for butting in but I thought I’d hop on the podcast recommendation diversion because I’m also always looking for recommendations.
This Sounds Serious is good if you like true crime, but it’s a comedic parody of the tropes of true crime with solid story telling.
Hello From the Magic Tavern is an interesting take on an interview-style podcast.
Risky or Not is a short form podcast about food science and if sometimes odd practices actually put you at risk
Wind of Change is an interesting look at if the Scorpions were intended to bring down communism
And if you’re a political junky in the US, Strict Scrutiny and Prosecuting Donald Trump are interesting updates from legal experts on the Supreme Court and the Trump cases.
I haven't listened to any legal podcasts since the uh... change of host on Opening Arguments a couple of years ago, and I've been avoiding US politics as much as possible for my own sanity because I'm on the opposite side of the world & I've been bombarded with it daily since about 2015, but this Strict Scrutiny sounds interesting.
Oh, I remember coming across that drama from the American Atheists side. I forgot there was a legal podcast in the mix. Oof.
