I'm (very slowly) reading An Immense World by Ed Yong. It's fascinating, about how different senses in animals create wildly different views of the world. Including senses we humans don't even have.

Steeger is having a sale this weekend so I bought a couple of ebooks about Captain Future. Need to read them, and then decide what else I want to actually read.

Oh, I know about the sale. They seem to do a 30% off sale every year over Black Friday though Cyber Monday weekend (the weekend that falls right after Thanksgiving Thursday), plus they normally have a 25% off sale around every July 4th (Independence Day here in the U.S. for our non-American friends).Mbast1 wrote:Steeger is having a sale this weekend so I bought a couple of ebooks about Captain Future.

I'm still waiting for more announcements on new collections they're adding to what they publish before I place my order, which will be for softcover / paperback books.

Does it count if it's an audiobook? If so, The Hunter by Richard Stark. Read it years ago, and am now listening on my commute.

I'm the kind of guy who thinks "reading" involves your eyes, not just your ears.
(Though I do realize there should be exceptions, like braille for a visually-impaired person.)
"Listening" to an audiobook without having the words in front of you to follow along just doesn't seem like true "reading" to me.
