Me too on history.
Just got Russia Hand, history of Clinton's relationship with Yeltzin. Also just got Arthur Schlesinger's three volume history of FDR.
A friend once suggested I should major in American Studies because he knew I liked to read the histories and novels of an era at the same time.
For me, The Strange Career of Jim Crow and Light in August were both spellbinding. Reading them at the same time was especially satisfying.

Pardon the tangent Ms. Warren. Just wanted to say you were great in Maxed Out.
