I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven't seen the Apple show, but maybe I'll watch it in the future when I've finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

It's my 1st time through Count of Montecristo AND Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy! I have an awesome new job that allows me to work 32 hours/week. I have a WHOLE EXTRA DAY EVERY WEEK to read, learn, draw, garden, whatever. So I'm tackling the dense books I've never been brave enough or committed enough to try befor!

count of Monte Cristo surprised me. I thought it would be a little boring and have that "this is a super old book" feel to it with a writing style that I just didn't enjoy. but it was actually super interesting and has a killer theme throughout that I did not see coming.
