I sort of set aside two of the three books I was reading in the above post because they're sort of boring (Germanische Heldendichtung im Mittelalter and Бегство из Рая), read a book about contemporary Russian politics that hasn't probably been translated into English yet but should be, and am now reading a cultural history of World War I from the German perspective called Nacht über Europa. It's a lot more interesting than the ones I'm sort of agonizing through because I've read 200 pages in a few days already, and it's only about 500 pages so I'm hoping to finish soon. Really, really good book so far.
The third book mentioned above I finished a while back.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Read Charles Mann's fascinating 1491, and nearly finished my Otherland reread. *NM*
