For fun, I am re-reading "The Eagle and the Wolves" by Simon Scarrow and "The Afghan Campaign" by Steven Pressfield (both highly recommended for any TW fans who got nothing to do till the release of the Medieval). Also under progress is the "Iron Chef of Folk Dishes in Taiwan" and this really boring report on "SEC's Proposed Rules Relating to Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 Reporting"
