“Child 44”, a wonderful first novel by Tom Rob Smith. It is a novel set in the former USSR about the conditions people were forced to live in under Stalin, and which parallels a true story of a serial child killer.

It's a little embarassing, but I finished re-reading Trout Fishing in America last night (I found it among some old stuff last week). Today I'm starting The Forgotten Man by Amity Schlaes.

A biography of Charles de Gaulle (through 1944) called “De Gaulle the Rebel.” The author is French.
Xenophon’s “The March up Country,” in the Penguin Classics edition. I’m also making occasional progress on Plutarch’s “Lives” and Herodotus’s “History.”
“First Things” magazine.
I finished the latest Clive Cussler “Oregon” novel, “Plague Ship,” yesterday. My daughter’s taking it back to the library today because it’s waitlisted for ever.

Cathedral and Crusade by Henri Daniel-Rops. This is part of his 10 volume "history of the Catholic church"; it would be better if he called it a "history of the Catholic church in France with a few pages on the church in other countries when absolutely necessary", but it's still a great achievement and fascinating reading-not least for watching his own skills as an historian improve with each book.
The Summa of St Thomas Aquinas. I once got all the way to page 22 in this; I am hoping to do better this time before giving up.
The House of the Seven gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I get in the mood to read Gothic-y books like this when autumn, October, and my favorite holiday rolls around...I'll probably start All Hallows' Eve by Charles Williams when I finish the Hawthorne book.

Weber and Flynt are great. I've read most of their stuff.
