Since about the beginning of the year: Russia Leaves the War, George Kennan (WW I); The Fate of Man in the Modern World, Nikolai Berdyaev; Philosophy of Logic, W.V.O. Quine; Marrow and Bone, Walter Kempowski; White Teeth, Zadie Smith; Bring Up the Bodies, Hilary Mantel; Writing and Difference, Jacques Derrida; Cartesian Meditations, Edmund Husserl (not quite to the end). White Teeth is charming, and I will read more of Smith's work fairly soon. As for Kempowski's novel, I don't know that I'm a feminist, but the women in his novels (this and All for Nothing) seem to run to the ineffectual.
