Much of my "reading" these days is actually audiobooks while walking.

bremner@bookwyrm.social is also me. Trying a smaller instance to see if the delays are less maddening.

I read the first half of the book some months ago, then stopped, for no reason I can recall.

This is an extremely varied collection from African and African Diaspora writers of speculative and fantastic fiction. For whatever reason(s) I'm not a huge fan of short form fiction in general, but I did find some of these stories quite memorable/compelling.
The Blue House (Dilman Dila). IRL (Stephen Barnes) Mami Wataworks (Russell Nichols) A dream of electric mothers (Wole Talabi; nebula nominee) A Knight in Tunisia (Alex Jennings) The Sugar Mill (Tobias Buckell) When the Mami Wata Met a Demon (Moustapha Mbacke Diop) Some of the stories I found a bit tough going. In at least some cases (Peeling Time / Deluxe Edition by Tlotolo Tsamaase) this is arguably because they are too powerful at conveying certain horrors.
Other stories were quite whimsical and fable like. So there is probably something for everyone in the book, but perhaps will love everything.
Simon Pridmore: Technically Speaking
A mix of industry gossip and anecdotes with some illuminating technical discussion. Probably a bit "inside baseball" if you don't already know a bit about diving.

I still mostly adore this book, but will be away from my paper books for a bit.
It's an accounting trick. I'm still listening to the same audiobook, but my plan is to listen through the first book (1/4) and see how I feel, possibly take a break.

What are the odds I'm going to listen to this entire monster without longish interruption. Probably I should break my review (if any) into constituent books.

I'm about half way through this. I'm reading it on my phone which at the moment is less enticing than audiobook while multitasking or a paperback in the bathtub. I am not a big reader of short stories, I think perversely because of a lack of attention span. I have a hard time keeping in my head what I think about a collection of stories, especially a big collection like this. Just looking at the table of contents I have a clear recollection of maybe half of the stories I read so far.
I'm a sucker for a good deal. USD12.99 for 58 hours of audiobook! I hope the narration is good as @kitkerr@wandering.shop says, because that's a lot of narration.
