I just finished Death Masks by Jim Butcher, 5th book of The Dresden Files. Really enjoying the series.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening?

I just finished White Sand by Brandon Sanderson and really enjoyed it.
Listenkng to a couple of shorter Dean Koontz books (currently Odd Thomas) before starting on The Wheel of Time series to give that a try!
Which version did you read? The prose or the graphic novel? He mentioned (last year, I think) that a re-print / definitive edition was coming out, since many people can’t find the graphic novel. Have been waiting for that.
Haven’t read any Koontz book lately, but used to read him a lot. I think after Sanderson, Koontz is the writer I have most books off. Maybe I should check his newer work…
I am an audiobook only “reader” (don’t hate me people! XD) so I listened to the graphic audio version as I really like their output.
Koontz is a more recent discovery for me and I have enjoy most of his stories so far, he sort of scratches that Stephen King itch for me. I’m just working through as many of his books I can get in audiobook and trying to work from oldest to newest.
Heh, no worries, the thread is for both readers and listeners.
And yeah, I basically turned to Koontz because I thought King was too long-winded. Though, I have recently read King and enjoyed it.
It was the opposite for me, I love King and especially the longer stories xD Koontz I found after having listened to everything I could find of King.
@theskyisfalling @dresden don’t do wheel of time. It’s dumb. It’s epic and everything but dumb. Just clumsy writing and concepts. Some super original stuff but truly a lot of schlock.
Oh really? I’d heard that it was worth it. Is it dumb like Disc world, I couldn’t get into that cringe worthy idiocy.
@theskyisfalling I mean discworld is supposed to be funny. This guy named the bad guys Murderalls and all the people are named all fantasy names but one of the main characters is named Matt which felt like when the little grocery cart makes a noise every 10 seconds pushing it down an aisle. The women are the problem and bitchy. The men are quiet. Their problems would dissolve if they talked to each other just a little. The world building is epic and great but execution………
I know it is supposed to be but I listened to the first 7 books trying to get into it as people seem to regard it fairly highly but I just don’t understand the appeal of the 13 year olds humour personally.
I think like discworld I will give the wheel of time a try and see how I like it cause if I don’t try it I may miss out on something I enjoy. I do appreciate your input though and have tempered my expectations some what as prior to this I had only heard that is is “amazing”
