1/4 through China Miéville's The City and the City. I absolutely loved Embassytown, and am enjoying this one, but it's much harder work. Happily his delight in the mechanics and meaning of language is still very much integral to the story, the passages where he lets him loose to go into a deep dive into linguistics are beautiful and very engaging. It will take quite a while to finish this one though, that's for sure.
