I'm primarily reading three things right now:
À l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs (traditionally if inaccurately translated into English as "Within a Budding Grove") by Marcel Proust. This is the second volume of "la Recherche".
The Swamp: The Everglades, Florida, and the Politics of Paradise by Michael Grunwald. This is both a history of the land of southern Florida itself, and a history of how people through the years have tried to shape the land to their will. The book's more entertaining than I expected.
The American Heritage History of World War II by C.L. Sulzberger and Stephen Ambrose. I dip into this from time to time. From the 37% I've read, the book does a decent job trying to cover events in both Asia and Europe.
I plan to begin reading something about World War I soon.
