What are you reading now?

I'm currently reading "This Republic of Suffering" by Drew Gilpin Faust. Sounds morbid, perhaps, but its about 19th century views on death-especially as it related to the death toll of the Civil War.

This is an EXCELLENT book -- as a matter of fact, one of my professors used it as a text book in a class I took on Victorian Mourning Customs and Social History....
