However, I'm also reading The Idiot, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, which I had not read before: shame on me. I guess one good thing about waiting is that this relatively new translation is supposed to be miles better than earlier ones. Another book I'm reading is The Vikings, by Robert Ferguson, which relies in part on recent archaeological discoveries--as late as 2001.

It's strange but The Idiot is the only Dostoevsky I've ever read!
