Here is what I am reading at the moment.
I must confess that I just read Part I which is just under 500 pages of fine print, so I don't feel too bad. While a great book, by that point I had had enough knight-errantry.
This is my most interesting recent discovery. The Japanese novelist Yasunari Kawabata won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968 and sadly committed suicide in 1972. For me this is entering an entirely new world in which everything is seen from a new and strange perspective. Very enjoyable.
Finally I am reading the Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle for the second time. I also just finished the Cambridge Companion to Virtue Ethics which talks a lot about this book. This is easier to read than most Aristotle and much more applicable to life in the 21st century.
