I'm finishing up the 14 book "Wheel of Time" series, which I've really enjoyed.

Next up will be either Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, or Permanent Record by Edward Snowden. Haven't read either but they come recommended. I've been working on some of the classics- finished Crime and Punishment a while ago, which I'd recommend.

Fiction or non-fiction as your preference?

Either Bret.

“A thousand splendid suns” is really good.

I also enjoyed “the art of racing in the rain”.

Recent fiction - "Cloud Cuckoo Land" - not a bad read.

Recent non-fiction - Surrender - Bono - audiobook narrated by him. Meh.
