What are you reading at the moment?

I like reading so therefore thought of starting a topic of what are you reading atm. I know there's favourite book -topic but would like to know what other books people read too. Have seen this thread on most forums I browse and found a lot of books from those which I've never heard of and would like to read.

I start then:

I'm reading The Undercover Economist by Tim Harford.
Nice point of views for example of globalisation and supermarket prices.

I've found Elizabeth on wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_B%C3%A1thory
At the end of the page you can see some books in English. Oscar Welden's is only in Hungarian...how strange..

It would be interesting to read a non-fiction book on Elizabeth Bathory from a Hungarian's perspective. Freya said:
The private life of Báthory Erzsébet by Oscar Welden.

haha Good luck!;) Some people say it's one of the most difficult languages. I don't know.

I did a quick search too when I saw the title you mentioned as I hadn't heard of it before. I have almost all of the English language books on the Countess. I hope the book will eventually be translated. Failing that, I guess I will have to learn Hungarian. It is a beautiful language.

I've been reading Dante's Inferno. An interesting read albeit Hell from a Christian perspective. I think some of the poetics are lost in translation but quite still a tasty affair.

Reading Beowulf (translated, not old english), and Sir Gawain And The Green Knight for english lit. Getting ready to read all three Lord of the Rings books (to be treated as a single text over 6 lectures. I'm ready to croak).
One book that I read recently that I found wierdly interesting was Melissa Marr's 'Fragile Eternity'. I tended to avoid faerie books, but that was really refreshing. It's quite sad that it's put in the same category as Twilight.
