I'm a fan of the OST from Mount and Blade: Warband. (this video is in alphabetical order. The main theme starts about halfway through.)

I listened to the first two on audio book. I'm in the same boat as you, where I thought they were good, and pretty thought provoking, but very bleak, and almost propagandistic, I can't really explain it though

Cool thing about Dracula is that, because it is in the public domain, and because it is told through journal entries, it can be read in the real time of the entries. https://draculadaily.substack.com/ is a newsletter that sends you emails of the particular day's entries if you're into that. It's already well underway though, but could be fun for a reread next year

I'm currently reading through Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I'm a fan of SciFi, and cyberpunk especially. This book was on my reading list, and I decided to pick it up while in the bookstore the other day.

So far I'm really enjoying it. It feels a bit more pulpy than some of the other cyberpunk classics such as Neuromancer and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, but that's not a bad thing. It certainly doesn't take away from the entertainment in my opinion. Not every book needs to have a grand philosophy behind it.
