I'm poking along in several things right now, though not very excited about most of them.

I'm still on the fence about continuing with Ringworld but I read a little bit more today and it's keeping me just interested enough to keep going.

I started Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. I'm on the fence about this one too. It's well written, but I have a feeling it's going to break my heart, and I'm not sure if I'm up for that right now.

I ended up picking back up a book about the Crimean War (The Crimean War: A History by Orlando Figes) last night, that I'd listed as paused in my book tracker app. I was enjoying it when it was about politics and culture in the run up to the war, but now it's mostly endless battles and slow going.

And I'm reading The Face of the Unknown by Christoper L. Bennett, a Star Trek TOS novel which is fine so far, but not much more than fine.

Oh, and I'm listening to Bloodlands: Europe Between Hilter and Stalin by Timothy Snyder, which is heavy and gutting material, but also riveting.
