I'm currently reading Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford. The author is an anthropologist rather than a Western or Middle Eastern historian, and he writes the book more from the Mongolian POV. It's refreshing. I'm looking for a book like this about Attila the Hun next.

The other book I'm reading is Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito. It's an odd bit of a horror book, but perfect for falling asleep.
