I finished From Here to Eternity, by Caitlin Doughty and the book was an amazing experience. All of the different rituals and ceremonies surrounding death makes me feel a little closer to and easier with death. I really recommend it to anyone who wants to know a little more about the industry and your options for yourself and loved ones.

I also finished We're Going to Need More Wine, by Gabrielle Union and I feel like it's opened my eyes to a lot of my own behaviors. It's truly inspiring to me how honest Union is in the book, especially when it comes to things I couldn't imagine admitting to the world. Her strength and ability to overcome are both things we should all aspire to and support in one another. I definitely recommend this to everyone.

I am still working on The Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson and I am starting Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, by Caitlin Doughty

Happy reading everybody!

I finished off The Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson. I really enjoyed the Mistborn trilogy and felt that it concluded nicely. I’ll get around to reading the second trilogy at some point.

I started and finished Sea of Rust, by C. Robert Cargill. Again, really liked it. Super interesting premise and great execution. Loved how the backstory of the fall of humanity and rise of the AI was interspersed with the main narrative.

Now reading Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Family Murders, by Vincent Bugliosi. I’ve known of Manson and his cult for some time but never took the time to read the full story. It’s an interesting read, with the narrative starting at the beginning of the police investigation, making it feel like you’re observing the findings as they are found with the added benefit of hindsight.

Just finished The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas. This book was so good. Beyond a five star read. Dont be turned off by its size, its so worth it.

Currently rereading The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson, I remember almost nothing since I first read it and damn its so good.

Creativity Inc., by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace and Thinking, Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman

Great books so far. Some of the pointers in Creativity Inc. are similar to the ones in "Principles by Ray Dalio". Especially the ones about candor (as Catmull describes it) and radical honesty (as Ray Dalio calls it). Interesting read for sure if one is interested in a book about business and leadership.

Daniel Kahneman is just a genius. I can't really put it elsewise or describe what is happening in the book in any way that will do it justice, but it's simply great.

Just finished The Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson

My god, what a trilogy. If one is a fan of fantasy in general I can definitely recommend these books. Very happy that I've read them.

Next up is Elantris, by Brandon Sanderson

The Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson

This is the final book in the first Mistborn trilogy and I'm about 1/3 of the way through. I'm loving how Sanderson is changing our perception of the lord ruler. I'm really excited to see what happens with all the different factions.

Storm in a Teacup: The Physics of Every Day Life, by Helen Czerski

I'm close to the end of this audiobook (2 hours left). She's covered a lot of the simple physical concepts in easy to understand ways and has done a wonderful job finding interesting every day situations to apply them in. I also just learned what all the fuss about a trebuchet is. So, all hail /r/Trebuchet.

Finished off The Well of Ascension, by Brandon Sanderson and moved straight on to The Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson.

I’m really enjoying the Mistborn series.

I finished Hero of Ages, by Branden Sanderson

I think the Mistborn books get progressively less fun. Hero of Ages felt like an almost too tidy resolution to a fairly long story. I can't say that I disliked it, because I thought the last ten pages or so were cool. But it almost felt cute in how neat everything was at the end. I'm glad I read them, but I'll take a break from Sanderson.

I started Thud!, by Terry Pratchett

I love the City Watch books, so I am unsurprisingly loving this one.

Finished The Well of Ascension, by Brandon Sanderson I am thoroughly enjoying Sanderson's writing and this Mistborn series has really reinvigorated my love of reading. Ego is the Enemy, by Ryan Holiday I don't think this was groundbreaking, by any means. But, I definitely appreciate his insights into different historical figures.

Currently Reading The Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson Gotta finish the (first) Mistborn trilogy! About a third into the book and enjoying it (not sure if any of these books will surpass my love for the first one, it was just such a breath of fresh air to me!).

Finished:

Notes from the Underground, by Dostoyevsky

Letters to a Young Calvinist, by James K.A. Smith

Started:

Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson

Finished The Well of Ascension, by Brandon Sanderson. Pretty good but perhaps a tad weaker than Mistborn. Now I've begun the last novel, The Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson.

The Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson

I've been reading this trilogy on and off for about a year now. Looking forward to the third book. The second dragged on a bit, so hopefully this follows the trend for trilogies and buttons things up.

I just finished Scarecrow, by Matthew Reilly and it was a struggle to get through. If things had remained like they were at the beginning I could perhaps get behind it but it kept escalating far beyond my suspension of disbelief threshold. By the end it sounded like a couple of drunk 14 year olds trying to one up each other.

Last week I finished The Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson (Amazing ending, I was absolutely captivated and blown away), The Alloy of Law, by Brandon Sanderson (he's no Shakespeare, but Sanderson has me clamoring for more - I love the world he has created), and Term Limits, by Vince Flynn (I was craving some popcorn fun, summer reads and this was a great read - I'm excited to start the Mitch Rapp series).

I also started Shadows of Self, by Brandon Sanderson (I need more of the Mistborn world!) and The Rise and Fall of Dinosaurs, by Stephen Brusatte (started this for the Reddit Book Club this month and so far I really enjoy it!).

Finished The Hero or Ages, by Brandon Sanderson. Really enjoyed it as the other 2 books from the Mistborn series (probably my favorite fantasy's series so far). Can't wait to start the SA series.

Today I started Kafka on the shore, by Huraki Murakami. Still at 50 pages but I'm liking it so far even though i was a little bit scared because a friend of mine told me it was an hard read and kinda boring.

Finished Well of Ascension, by Brandon Sanderson

Reading Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson and Thinking, Fast and Slow, by Danial Kahnemann

Up next: Way of Kings, by Brandon Sanderson and Creativity Inc., by Ed Catmull

Mistborn trilogy so far has been amazing - hopefully finishing it in the next couple of days.

Thinking, Fast and Slow so far has so far been a good book. The book is not exactly an easy read, but Daniel Kahnemann is really good at providing concise examples, which illustrates the point of the researches and studies he refers to really well.

After a little break I finally finished a few books that I've been reading.

The Hero of Ages, by Sanderson great ending to the Mistborn trilogy, Sazed is the man.

The Blade Itself, by Abercrombie wonderful action and good characters. Ordered the second book and can't wait.

Blood Meridian by McCarthy I don't know how I feel about it, I adored the road, no country for old men and the border trilogy, but this one was odd for maybe it was the Spanish , but I couldn't get into it.

I started to read The Hobbit and will follow that with something from Discworld to cleanse the palate of those violent novels.
