Still reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy, so no change there.

It has become quite interesting though (or maybe it's just the Stockholm syndrome talking), I am in last 1/3 or maybe 1/4th of the book, and things have started to get together, though I still don't know what's the goal in this book. From all I have read, this seems to just be a 'middle' book whose purpose is to explore the world and take us from book 1 to book 3 where everything will be concluded.

Let's see how I feel by the time I finish it.

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

I just began Homo Juridicus by Alain Supiot. I'm still trying to grasp it, but I think it describes how the 'legal man' (homo juridicus) grasps the universe of signs through a specific set of legal (occidental) conceptions. It also references the philosophy of language.
