For me I DNF'ed The Making of the Atomic Bomb. It was too difficult for me to read.
Currently I am reading 2 books;
1) Genius in the Shadows by William Lanouette
2) A Storm of Swords by GRR Martin
I gave up on GRRMs books after the horrid last season of GOT
I haven't read books in years because of my failing eye sight. Last I remember was sword of truth series and mistborn trilogy.
Signed, million man.
Deliver Me From Nowhere by Warren Zanes - the story of the making of Bruce Springsteen's album Nebraska

Excellent footnotes.
I nearly read this. Don't remember why I changed my mind though. Happy reading.
shareI read the two Del Rey Lovecraft collections, he was ahead of his time for sure. Great short stories.
shareLast: Nostalgia by Mircea Cărtărescu.
Really a short story anthology rather than a novel, despite the author's claim to the contrary, but pretty good nonetheless.
Current: The Blood Countess by Andrei Codrescu
...As you can probably tell, I'm on a bit of a Romanian kick at the moment.
You did not say if you were Romanian or not, but I guess these books are as literary as heck.
shareIt was not in English and it is not well known outside of norway.
A very dark personal history about growing up in a small Sami community(population 2000). In this specific sami community the majority of people tend not to involve the police no matter which crime because of historical reasons and the fact that it is a small culture with a Us vs them mentality. So anyone could with very little risk do whatever they wanted, except for murder and visibly violent actions where police automatically got involved.
" In 2016, eleven women and men in Tysfjord came forward in the media and spoke about sexual abuse. Police investigations have uncovered a total of one hundred and fifty-one sexual assault cases, related to the Lule Sami community in Tysfjord(population 2000). This is the story of how society failed conveyed through one of the victims' stories - a story about adults' responsibility for children and the classic conflict between the larger society and small, closed environments"
Wow. Very obscure stuff. I suppose there is even a chance of it absent from the very extensive data base of Goodreads.
