I wasn't reading or listening to anything for a while after finishing up The Shiva Trilogy in print (er, pixels) and the Welcome to Nightvale podcast, which barely counts anyway, and I found myself in a bit of withdrawal. The Shiva Trilogy makes for great fantasy reading, btw, even though the author sees it as an inspired religious text. It's written as a straightforward adventure series - kind of a much less cringey Hindu version of Left Behind (several of which I did read as a teen).
A show I won't name because doing so in this context would be a spoiler put me strongly in mind of Neal Stephenson's Seveneves, and I've picked that up for a re-read / listen (whispersync). I'm thinking I might plow straight into Anathem, my favorite Stephenson novel which I'm pretty sure I've only read once, when I'm done.
