Hey, nerdheads, what's a good book you've read recently?

I'm making my way through the Strugastky brothers' works, found out about them through roadside picnic but i just finished "Monday starts on Saturday" and enjoyed it just as much. Edit to add: it's a science fiction novel from the perspective of a soviet programmer who stumbles into magic. He meets a lot of people for whom magic is mundane, and the book does such an awesome job describing his confusion and curiosity vs everybody elses acceptance of it as day-to-day. Its also super funny :)

ooo I'm planning to start that soon. How long has it taken you to get to book 6?

A year and a half. Lol.

I'm listening to it on audiobook. I've been pretty diligent on listening for a half hour or so every night

That's a pretty good pace actually, considering you're listening to an audiobook!
