Current intellectual stimulation: Rereading Gödel, Escher, Bach in German translation (Gödel, Escher, Bach: Ein Endloses Geflochtenes Band). It's rather slow going, but by gooly* I'll be good at German by the time I get through it.
Current book I'm in the middle of and really should get back to, and will, I'm sure, because I have wanted to read it for ages, but you know how it is...: Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies.
I was on a kick of reading a bunch of fiction for a while, because I'd bought a bunch of new-to-me SF anthologies at cons, but I think I've gotten through all of those. I have a number of new-to-me non-anthologies I still haven't gotten to though.
*gooly: I word I found I liked much better than "golly" after I typed it, and whose right to untrammelled life I decided to respect.
