Jeff Hays is a phenomenal audiobook narrator. I'm just listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl series but he has narrated other books. It looks like mostly he has done LitRPG and fantasy books but he is so good. Sometimes his female characters sound too much alike but the main characters are all very distinctive and I forget that he is Mordecai, Carl, Donut and Katia.

Finished Three Body Problem -- thumbs up. I will probably get the next one, too. For whatever reason, I thought the author was a woman until I saw his picture at the very end. Random facts.

I started in on The Crying of Lot 49, but I don't have the fortitude to pay attention to that right now. It may also just not be my thing.

Now I've cracked open the one with Stairs in the title. City of Stairs? That's feeling more my speed right now. I didn't feel like going back to Fifth Business just yet.

I really liked the City of Stairs and its sequels. For some reason it felt very post-WWII for me. Lots of espionage and geopolitical upheaval in the aftermath of war.

I read The Crying of Lot 49 for my freshman rhetoric class and loooooved it. It was the first book that was that kind of weird that I had come across, and for a class, blew my mind. Reading Pynchon tends to make me paranoid, though. I've had Against the Day in my TBR for almost a decade but it's still daunting and there are so many other books...

For example: New KJ Charles is out and thanks to the magic of pre-ordering is already on my phone, but can I ignore work and spend all day reading it as would clearly be best for everyone? No, I cannot.

I am only partway into The Change but I am really liking it so far. Thanks for mentioning it, Amy and Dana!

I liked The Raven Scholar a whole lot and am very glad that it's the first in a series because I want to learn everything about this world
