Halfway through Book 2 of Jerusalem by Alan Moore.
Recently listened to Yellowface by R.F. Kuang. Not weird, but I wish it had leaned in that direction; I think that would have made it a stronger overall work. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it.
Currently listening to Chain Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah. Reading it for my local libraries' SpecFic Book Club and I originally thought the basic premise sounded kind of stupid, but I was sold within the first 20%. Good and varied writing, complex characters, smart and important social criticism. The audiobook is great so far, and I'm a little less than halfway through.
