Currently reading

Since my son was born ~two months ago, my reading has shifted away from physical books into audiobooks and ebooks. I’m spending 90% of my time with one or both hands occupied, which is a bad strategy for reading physical books. It is much easier to hold and turn pages on the Kindle than a physical book. I’m also reading less. The time I have to do so is generally late at night, when I’m holding him to get him to sleep, and I’m generally too tired to read. Despite that, here is what I’m reading lately:
