Hit a rut hereabouts with my reading goals, hence the sparse nature of my posting here lately. I recently got a second job, which leaves me very little free time for anything, including sleeping, socializing, or living. Your intrepid author is in search of a solution to this problem, so hopefully this is a temporary situation.
I've been stuck at the 3/4 mark of the audiobook of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, which is delightful, and I'm eager to finish up not only for the sake of my reading challenge but for my own edification. The characters are complex, the original characters woven into history so well that I had to double check whether I had misremembered events or people from the 40s.
I've also started reading Howl's Moving Castle, but work has been hectic enough that I'm barely into it, not really enough to make a judgement call.
And I'm in the middle of a re-read of Tipping the Velvet. I tend to save re-reads for falling asleep to, so they go much faster. Most of my re-reads are on audio, and the narrator for Sarah Waters' books is thoroughly delightful (Juanita McMahon, for the curious). As always I recommend Sarah Waters unequivocally; her prose is phenomenal.
One of my main problems, in addition to lacking free time, is that I listen to most of my books nowadays (given most of my other activities that NEED to be done require my hands and eyes) and I subscribe to over a dozen podcasts that I can't bring myself to prune.
