Also skimming through Ryder Caroll's The Bullet Journal Method. Read this last year (or was that year before that?) and wanted to check something but decided to skim through most of it.

Still reading The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson, 3rd book in the 2nd era of Mistborn. It was going great but didn't get to read much last week or so, should be getting back to it now.

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

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is bloody fantastic. I love Stephen Graham Jones' work.

How are the Notes from the Underground? I am thinking or reading them or Karamazovs.

I read Notes about 25 years ago and don't remember anything about. I read it recently after Crime and Punishment (which I liked) and some short stories including White Nights (I loved it at the time but feel very differently about it later in my life). I still can't get through Karamazovs, though. I've tried multiple times, but it is so unbelievably boring for me.

I’m mostly reading it in order to follow Bakhtin’s Problems in Dostoevsky’s Poetics, so I’m kind of viewing it through that lens... I wouldn’t say it’s a compelling read on its own, but it’s interesting to see how Dostoevsky can create a character that engages in its own autonomous dialog with the reader.
