Finished Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman, book 2 of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

spoiler for book 2I thought Bea will show up in the second book, though it looks like she is actually dead now. Carl has a point if she was still alive some show will have found her by now.

It looks like they are going to do something in future books and split up Carl and Donut. Not a fan of this in most books, so let's see how it goes.

Started Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski. Book 2 of The Witcher series. This is the second short story collection, after which comes the 5 book novel series. I read the series quite a while ago, but never finished all the novels, so re-reading the earlier books to finally complete the series.

What about all of you? What have you all been reading or listening to lately?

I'm currently reading The Conspiracy Against the Human Race by Thomas Ligotti. I am currently about 1/5 of the way into it. I find his anti-natalist arguments somewhat lacking so far, but his apologies for philosophical pessimism are interesting. His metaphors about human existence, woven in with incorporating Zapffe's The Last Messiah are worth a read; if nothing more than to challenge one's own preconception about the preciousness of existing itself.
