Reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). About halfway through the book, things are getting interesting, mainly because we are learning more of the world and how it works, still no solution to actual problem though, but I doubt we will get it before the end.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

At the moment I am reading the Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. It’s really fascinating so far, quite unorthodox in many ways. The story is Bulgakovs critique of soviet society, especially the literary and theatrical scene and the censorship thereof. A faustian devil comes to Moscow and starts punishing people for their corrupt choices. This is contrasted by a secondary plot that happens during the execution of Jesus in old Jerusalem. It’s narrated in the style of Skaz, pretty funny at times, at other times there are horror elements and there is always a lot of biting sarcasm. But the wildest choice to me has to be the arrangement of the characters. There are a lot of side characters and the titular main characters don’t show up until the story has been told for ~100/300 pages and even after that they don’t even show up on most pages.
