Deer, I'm looking forward to your thoughts as you finish FK. Don't want to spoil anything tho, so I'll say no more.
I'm listening to The Passage by Justin Cronin, read by Scott Brick. This is a re-listen for me; the first time was about 5 years ago. Book 3 of the trilogy came out a couple of months ago, so I'm revisiting the first two, as I've forgotten a lot of the details. I haven't read book 3 yet, so no spoilers, please!
(BTW I tend to listen to books rather than read them, just because I don't get a lot of time to just sit and read, and I can listen while driving and doing other things. I recommend it).

Just finished The Sympathizer, and I enjoyed what some critics called "overwrought" language. I think that's a result of being spoiled by Donaldson, though ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
That book was rather dark, though, and given that the very next book I jumped into was Underground Airlines... well... I need something more lighthearted after these two.
Basically, I read a book about a Viet Cong spy within the American military during and after the fall of Saigon, and followed it up with an alternate history where the US never fought the civil war, and slavery is still practiced in 2016.
Yeah, I need something fun after these two.

And my choice for lighter fare: Don't Sleep with your Drummer, by Jen Sincero! About a late-twenties girl who throws away everything to follow her dream of starting a band!
