What Are You Currently Reading Outside of Tech

So man radio people around here. I'm quite surprised.
-
If the Internet goes down, I still want to be able to get onto MangoLassi to see what is going on.

We are about seven chapters in to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix now.

Finished "Oathbringer", book 3 in the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. If you like fantasy at all, this is the best modern series, imo, there is in the genre. Enormous books, but each of them has left me wishing they were longer.

It is long, > 3,000 pages over the three books, but I highly recommend it.

Well it is by Sanderson, so of course it is long winded.

Stormlight Archive
One thing I am wary of is that Sanderson has tried to tie all of his novels into one megaverse, the Cosmere.
It is an interesting concept, but it has made me leery of jumping into any of his books.

I don't think you will miss much not having read any of his other books. There are some subtleties about the tie-ins, but nothing that is story breaking if you don't know. It has more to do with him telling a large story spanning multiple worlds, with each series focusing on the way the underlying universal system is applied in that world. I have read everything he has written except for the WoT books, and he is my favorite author by far.

Norwegian Wood is my favorite book of all time if you're trying to find something of his. Wind Up Bird Chronicle is second.
