Reading The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson. His fourth and final standalone Cosmere "secret project" novel.

I am about 1/4th through, and it's interesting to see how connected this is with Cosmere, unlike the first 3 books. I think this book should be read after you have read at least 1 book of The Stormlight Archive. Looking forward to seeing if we learn anything else in it.

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

I just finished Alien III by William Gibson.

It is a script for the third movie but was not used. It was later turned into a novel.

I listen to an audio book version and I am pretty sure it is was the movie script not the novel.

Is it better than the second one?

To clarify are you asking if the script was better than Aliens?

No, not at all.

It is very good and a continuation of the Aliens storyline. The narrator of the story is Ash and the story starts when he is torn in half during the final battle on the Sulaco.
