I'm in the midst of The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell -- most interesting stuff, but on the dense and dry side -- which I'm reading along with Robert Louis Stevenson's The Master of Ballantrae. I have several books jostling for the next slot, including Le Morte D'Arthur, Sir Richard Burton's translation of The 1001 Arabian Nights, a couple of Barbara Tuchman books, and Bradbury's Farenheit 451, which more or less jumped off the shelf this morning and begged to be reread.
