Oh my! Currently I am reading Ray Bradbury's second mystery novel A Graveyard for Lunatics, Dune: Chapterhouse, Tolkien's Unfinshed Tales, Six Frigates (about the founding of the US Navy during the revolution), and I just finished Neptune's Inferno, about the naval campaign at Guadalcanal. That's what's I'm reading for fun.

For my thesis I'm knee deep in Adobe Walls, which is about the battle and the opening of the Red River War. The Indian Trial, about the trial of Satanta, one of the principal Kiowa chiefs. Three of Robert M. Utley's works, Indian Wars, Geronimo, and The Indian Frontier of the American West. And, lastly, The Comanche Empire.
 
I dasn't dare post the other titles. Only one acceptable by forum rules wold be the tome I struggle thru periodically: "Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical Approach" by Morris Kline. And it's not all that intuitive! o_O

What no Principia Mathematica?
 
Going to start "The War that Made Rome" about Marc Anthony, Cleopatra and Octavian and the war for dominance after the assassination of Caesar. Part way through "The Rising" about the 1916 Easter rebellion. And for lighter stuff I have Clive Cussler "The Gangster" waiting it's turn.

The Missing Piece by John Lescroart
I have The Trials of Harry S. Truman by Jeffry Frank on hold and it just became available
 
Spark plug cross reference. Found that the plugs for a 4.0L Rover and 2.0 L Triumph use the same plug.
 
Four volumes of "The History of the English Speaking Peoples" by Winston Churchill. For fun I'm reading Pa. Fireside Tales and Ghost Stores, Eight Volumes. Just finished American Marxism, by Mark Levin.
 
Sterling Moss autobiography.

That book was written a decade before "Gulag". I need to put that one my list of things to read.

Another good book I read years ago and want to "re-read" is called "We Will Bury You," by Jan Sejna. He was, at the time (in the 80s), the highest ranking communist official to defect to the west. In it, among other things, he discusses the Soviet (Communist) long term plan to subvert the west. I read it in my "spare time" while I was in Officer Training School. It had been recommended by our Defense Studies instructor.
