I am reading mangas these days. Read first 4 volumes of Attack on Titans, but since I am reading these through 3-in-1 omnibus, going to read till 6th volume at least. Will decide the next book after that.

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

Who wrote The Witness? Not an easy title to search for 😅

I read Black Company yeaaars ago and the grimdark and gritty writing definitely primed me for Malazan. I'll definitely look into it again!

I partly want 1000+ page epics for the dollar to hour ratio; trying to support my local bookstore but paying $20-30+ for paperbacks stings. The look on bookstore lady's face when I showed up for #4 a week after buying #3 was definitely worth it, though!

Oh sorry! I mean the witness trilogy by Steven Erikson. A follow up to malazan. The god is not willing was the first of the trilogy. Definitely a touch different stylistically but I really enjoyed the first one. Its Erikson so it's a pretty long one so might be like what you're looking for?

Also, Glenn cook released lies weeping, a new chronicle of the black company. I havnt read it yet, but its on my list. Might be worth checking out if you liked the stuff before!
