Foundryside, Robert Jackson Bennett. Finished it; continues to be good fun apart from the occasional gruesome deaths of unsympathetic characters. Really good worldbuilding, and I enjoy the fantasy cyberpunk angle, and also learning about the ways in which what the characters know about their world's history is not quite right. Looking forward to reading the sequel, and seeing where things go. However I'm currently on break to read:

Watership Down by Richard Adams. I've never actually read this before -- it's a gap in my cultural background. Reading for book club, and just started. So far enjoyable rabbit adventure; the main things that strike me so far is that the omniscient narrator is very much not a rabbit, and that I'm not sure when the last time is that I've read such a male-dominated book. But then I'm also a different species from all the characters, not just a different gender.

I also missed out on reading Watership Down as a child, and finally got around to it a few years ago. It's... weird. I'm not entirely sure if I would have found it more or less so if I'd read it as a kid.
