When I have more time I'm reading Iain M. Banks' Use of Weapons.

Also I'm reading/listening to Ron Chernow's Alexander Hamilton, though that's going slow because I'm listening more to the Hamilton cast album that the audiobook. The book itself is very readable/listenable. Hamilton was one of the more interesting of the founding fathers and this is the book that inspired Lin-Manuel Miranda to write the musical.
Finished Joy in the Morning and Carry On, Jeeves. Excellent, the usual Wodehouse wit and humor.
Reread Elric of Melnibone by Michael Moorcock, the first of his Elric series which has some of his better fantasy. I unearthed my old paperback from the 70s.
About 1/3 of the way through Alexander Hamilton and halfway through Use of Weapons. (I usually don't have this many books going at once.)

Also I bought The High House by James Stoddard, one of my favorite fantasy novels. If you read the Ballantine classic fantasy books edited by Lin Carter in the 70s, this book is for you.
