Arabian Nights- the Sir Richard Burton translation. Nothing cooler than reading old stories and seeing how they fit into other folk tales and local histories, let alone how they parallel stories from other cultures!
 yeah... I compulsively read fairy tales even as a "grown up"

Dragon Ladyby Sterling Seagrave. About Tsu Tsi, last empress of China.
He puts her in historical perspective, systematically debunks the slanderous lies the English propagated about her to justify domination of China, and creates a fascinating world full of details about the last days of the final dynasty.

I'm slowly making my way through The Wealth of Nations, right now, veeeeery slowly. It's a tough read. I'm sure I'll take many breaks from this one.
