Tolstoy's Short Stores Collected by Leo Tolstoy.

...I always wondered how one could have a surname that meant 'fat'. I can't think of an english equivalent at the moment, though likely as not, there is one.

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Go Russian!!!! :D)

The Man with the Iron Mask by Alexandre Dumas

Both are awesome books by awesome authors. I just need some variation sometimes, and that's why I'm reading them both at the same time. Dostoyevsky is very deep, and when you're sick sometimes your mind can't handle that! lol

(...Aw, Wiggy - Dostoyevsky is always the most fun when one's sick; nothing to distract - excepting discomfort. ^_~)

Just started reading "Kingdom of the Grail" by Judith Tarr.
I'm also slowly slugging through "Dozivljaji" (lit. Adventures) by Ante Pavelic, der Poglavnik of Croatia during WW2 (I call it the Mein Kampf of the Balkans)

I plan to re-read the LotR this year, and so hope to pick up the FotR before Summer ends (it was the same as last year...).
