I decided to buckle down and finish Robert Fisk's The Great War for Civilisation, and now I'm about 900 pages in, so I expect I'll finish it around September 1.
I'm not sure what to read after that. I still have to get back to my book on the Russian Mafia but after Fisk's book I think I might want something that isn't just a catalogue of man's inhumanity to man.
I might read Brandon Sanderson's Warbreaker because I did buy that, after all. I also think I should read at least ONE "classic" between now and Christmas. I might also read a book on the Boxer Rebellion that I've had for some time.
What would you suggest?

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
