What book are you currently reading?

The Earth Hums in B Flat, by Mari Strachan. Also Half a Crown, by Jo Walton, and The Naked Sun, by Isaac Asimov.

How far in are you?

With The Earth Hums in B Flat, about two thirds of the way. Half a Crown, barely five chapters. The Naked Sun, about halfway.

What's it about?

The Earth Hums in B Flat -- Set in Wales. A mystery story, but also a story about families and, I think, some very tangled webs.
Half a Crown -- The third book of a trilogy, set in an alternate history where Britain made peace with the Nazis, and over time began to slide into fascism itself.
The Naked Sun -- A man and a robot investigate a murder.

Are you enjoying it?

Yes, all three of them.

The Naked Sun is one of the actual Robot stories, isn't it? +has a hard time remembering Asimov+

[shanaqui]

It's the second book of the Elijah Baley trilogy, which is linked to all the others in the larger narrative.

+nods+ Okay. I read Asimov in grade school, ages ago, so...

I suppose I should tackle him as an adult one of these days.
