Not much change at my end, still reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin.

Also started volume 7 of Jujitsu Kaisen manga, by Gege Akutami.

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

I fiiinally finished The Recognitions (Gaddis), so now I'm on to something lighter and easier to enjoy: The Queen of the Damned (Anne Rice). My kid and I are sort of going through the vamp chronicles together, and they've been excited for me to start reading this one and catch up with them.

How are you liking the Vampire Chronicles? These were my first vampire books and I really enjoyed them. At least the first 3, don't recall what I thought about the next ones. I do feel I read first 6, till The Vampire Armand, but not sure.

I really like them! I read the first two years ago as a kid, and reread them recently when the AMC show came out (which I highly recommend if you haven't seen it). I will probably read at least the fourth one, but maybe not right away. Too many other books on the stack. :) But yeah, I love Anne Rice's style, and she did a great job building off existing vampire lore and also adding new lore on top of it.
