What are you currently reading?

[Geoffrey S]

I'll just quote myself elsewhere:

Currently reading (as coursework for the first semester...)
- Global Transformations,David Held a.o.
- Global Capitalism, Jeffry Frieden
- The Middle East and Central Asia: an Anthropological Approach, Dale Eickelman
- A Vision Unfulfilled: Russia and the Soviet Union in the Twentieth Century, John Thompson
- Writing History: Theory and Practice, collection of articles
- A Concise History of the Middle East, Arthur Goldschmidt (first half is good, modern history is rather biased imo)
- The Origins of the Modern World, Robert Marks
- The Enduring Vision: a History of the American People, number of authors

Those are ones from cover to cover. Also a lot of articles, and various books and articles for an essay.
