My reading in progress:
I'm struggling with Adorno and Horkheimer's Dialectic of enlightenment, but I think with a bit of serious study I'll beat it yet.
Halfway through:
Rousseau's Reveries d'un promeneur solitaire
Grossman's Life and fate
Barbusse's Le feu
Just begun:
HAL Fisher's History of Europe
Need to reread:
Freud's Civilisation and its discontents
Montesquieu's Lettres persanes
