Finished Starsight by Brandon Sanderson. Second book in Cytoverse series. Loved the way the series progressed, though didn't liked the post-ending much. Going to start the novella soon.

Started Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. It's a standalone sci-fi. Don't remember who recommended Tim Powers or when, but he was mentioned in my list, so got couple of his books. I have just started the book, something is happening, but I am not sure what, so no idea what to think about it yet. Let's see how it turns out.

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

James.

The 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' story, told from the perspective of Jim.

The best part is where Jim and the other slaves have to practice playing dumb and incompetent and speaking gibberish in front of the white folks to avoid making them feel bad.

Not done yet, but really enjoying the first few chapters.

In Three Days to Never, I just read a sentence, "Huck Finn is told by Huck Finn himself, from his point of view". For a moment I thought you were referencing that, and it is going to be something important going forward.

That sounds interesting, but I have forgotten most of Huckleberry Finn, will have to revisit that first.
