Not so much Polish as Ukrainian. The pierogi comes in from the plains, Saskatoon and especially Manitoba, where there are large immigrant populations. The kielbasa could be almost any sausage (or often in hard times none), but my roots in Detroit make kielbasa a basic soul food. I make my own, and it's seriously good, if I do say so myself.
Ukrainian? That stuff is Polish.

Pierogi are broader than just Polish, though that's how I first saw them, since Detroit has a huge Polish population. So, to quote from TastingPoland.com:
Quote:
Ruskie pierogi come from the prewar Poland's region called Red Ruthenia. Today it lies within the borders of Ukraine. Interestingly enough, while Poles use the name 'ruthenian pierogi', on the eastern side of the Polish border some Ukrainians call the same dish 'Polish pierogi'.

My idea is just... what do we read to just lighten up. It doesn't necessarily have to be funny or anything, but it's probably light and fast, and just something you read because you just like (or love) this book.

Does that make any sense? Or did I just muddy things up further?

Alternatively, I could suggest Guilty Pleasures, books that you're kind of embarrassed to like reading.

Oh, I like the sound of Guilty Pleasures! How about:

Oh, the Shame!: Guilty Pleasures

or

Guilty Pleasures: Mortifying Reads

or both could combine

Just for Fun: Guilty Pleasures

which might be best of all.

Yes, I like that last one: Just for Fun: Guilty Pleasures.

Into the Labyrinth is dangerous and puzzling - anything from the Minotaur of the original labyrinth to Kafka’s The Trial. Somehow putting an extra word or phrase seems to limit the phrase.

I’m happy with just the word prodigies for mine.

I love the idea of Guilty Pleasures -- and I'll be nominating my favourite Georgette Heyer!

I agree that Amazing hit the wrong note. How about Into the Labyrinth: The Quest? It might be foolish consistency, but I do like our standard format. I think it's worked well for us. What does fantasy fan have to say?

I did appreciate the pun, but we have reduced the impact of amazing down to mild surprise!

I like The Quest. While we wait for fantasyfan, maybe another option could be Enigmas.

If these are truly Guilty Pleasures, will you nominate your favorite title as something "a friend told me about?"

Just for Fun: Guilty Pleasures it is!

And for the record, I have read a few books I normally wouldn't have on recommendation by friends. Like, 80% of the New Leaf titles, for instance!

There are some excellent Scandinavian mysteries, for example, that would be a bit of a change as well as fitting your desire for something translated.

I'm down with that; having read several Scandinavian translations, Russian, French (TTM just recently), Chinese, Japanese... even English (Her Majesty's English translated into 'Murican, because apparently we're that stoopid).
