Interesting :thumbs up!
The question for me should be: what books are you currently reading :tongue? I have the habit to start various books :p.
Currently I'm reading a photography book and "The 10-day MBA" . Oh, and also a book on the ongoing financial crisis, and I am probably going to start reading a novel by Dean Koontz or Stephen King soon :D.
One of the best:
Der Untergang des Abendlandes, by Oswald Spengler, German edition, copyright 1922.
'Before the Dawn: Recovering the Lost History of Our Ancestors' by Nicholas Wade
and 'The Ethnic Phenomenon' by Pierre van den Berghe
It takes me a long time to read a book, so this may not change for some time...:embarrassed
Gods and fighting men - Lady Gregory
The autobiography of Theobald Wolfe Tone - Abridged & edited by Sean O'Faolain
Thanks for the comments so far. I've seen this topic before on other forums. It's a good way of sharing what we are reading with others. I've gotten good book recommendations off of such threads before. All of these books sound interesting. I hope you enjoy them and get something out of them. I often am reading more than one book at a time. I'm an avid reader. It's one of my favorite hobbies. I would say it's more than just a hobby though.
I just finished all the Harry Potter books in their original language. I first read them in Danish. :D
So I'm now ready for something a little more serious!
Tankens Magt

In English that means 'The Power of Thought - History of Ideas in the West
It's about the ideas that formed Europe from ancient Greece to now. There are three books which each covers a period.
Book one - Classical antiquity to 1600
Book two - 1600 to 1918
Book three - 1918 to present day
The book is structured in a system of seven scientific fields, including technology, science, politics and law, aesthetics and art, language and society, philosophy and religion/theology. These seven pillars are each divided into nine time periods, so that the whole story can be read chronologically.

Hey Lars. That looks amazing. I hadn't heard of that before. It looks fascinating. It certainly does look beautifully made. I'll definitely have to check it out.
