- Still going with across-the-year reading of Finnegans Wake. Nearing the end of part 3, which seems to be interpreted at the "ideal future", and soon moving on to part 4: "the actual future". The Wellington & Napoleon & Tristan & Iseult & Osiris & Set -ishness of it all continues to mystify just over the understandizon. At the moment, I think that Crime and Punishment is going to be next year's big read.
- Finished Happy Endings by Paul Cornell - the 50th in the Doctor Who Virgin New Adventures series and a cameo-filled celebration of this series so far wrapped around Benny's wedding. An easy read, but too many cameos overall.
- Reading GodEngine by Craig Hinton - the 51st in the same series, and an interesting (so far) dive into Ice Warrior culture.
- On hold until I have finished the above Flashman's Waterloo by Robert Brightwell. Quatre Bras is out of the way in this entertaining and well-researched prequel series and Waterloo itself is in the offing. However, I want to finish the the DW novel, since that is a natural pause in that series, before immersing in this again.
And after those I am planning to read Adam Biles' Beasts of England - a Brexit-parody sequel to Orwell's Animal Farm released a few weeks back and then Sandra Newman's Julia - her alternate take on 1984. They seem a good pairing.
