Still reading The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).

Book is pretty fast paced and full of action. Really enjoying it.

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

Heh, well, Sanderson's novels aren't that long, well, not counting Stormlight Archive that is. Specially when you compare them to most books in fantasy genre.

As for Reacher novels, I haven't read many action / adventure / crime novels, but those that I have read haven't been very long, mostly around 300-400 page count, so Reacher's length was a surprise. If it was a fantasy book, wouldn't even have noticed it probably.
