Currently still slowly reading TH White's 'The Once and Future King' King Arthur collection. I think I would be faster if the tone, especially now in the second book and apparently futher on as well, wasn't so deeply melancholy? The author was a melancholy man himself afaik, and it's harder to read when depressed.

Also some non-fiction, 'The Anxious Person's Guide to Non-Monogamy' by Lola Phoenix, which I'm enjoying. Apparently the author has a podcast that I haven't yet tried; picked it up on the basis of the title.

Aside from that, various sequential art - Asadora volume 4 by Naoki Urasawa, which was very tense and I'm planning to pick up further volumes ASAP. Finished the first arc of 'Batgirl' by Tate Brombal and Takeshi Miyazawa in single issues, which I loved - it was focused on Cassandra Cain and her assasin birth mother Lady Shiva. Read the short graphic novel 'Homunculus' by Joe Sparrow, about the relationship between an artificial intelligence and her creator - very sweet and sad, had me weeping at the end. Also a few assorted single issues of various cape comics (Absolute Flash, New Gods).

I hadn't heard of Asadora before, but it sounds really interesting! I'm going to add it to my TBR list.
