I’m about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it’s ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I’m looking forward to moving on to Stephen King’s The Stand.

    I’m listening to Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. I’ve been in a reading slump for a few months now. I’m struggling to find something engaging. This one is interesting but I’m not that invested yet.

      I want to get back into audiobooks. I typically read before bed but listening to a book would be nice during the day.

        Oh I do it while doing housework, dishes, sweeping, laundry, etc and sometimes to help me fall asleep but I’ll just re-listen to it the next day

      Piranesi is a weird one. I found it an incredibly engaging book, but that’s probably because I’m a sucker for the aesthetic it presents.

        I actually like the aesthetic as well, and I’m really enjoying the narrator but I’m feeling the anxiety emanating from Piranesi as he discovers the diaries ans it’s triggering me a bit :) But I’m enjoying it, I’m just wary for the explanation
