28) Lost Languages: The Enigma of the World's Undeciphered Scripts
A re-read of the Lord of The Rings trilogy
29) The Fellowship of the Ring
30) The Two Towers
31) Return of the King
32) Germany Drives East to continue Churchill's account of WW2, with light shed on such recurrent themes as Iraq and a few other bits that tend not to get much of a mention.
33) The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters for a bit of steampunk fantasy
34) Early Medieval England for a dose of history split between the dynastic and the documentary/administrative (which I find the more interesting of the aspects).

>34 I'm hoping to read a few more medieval history books before too long. I remember being intrigued by the social aspects of medieval society when we studied it in school, but I really would love to read some "adult" treatments of the social history.
