Bleak House and Totem and Taboo. BH is fantastic, like all the Dicken's novels I've read before. My one complaint is that the main character is a bit too much of a goody goody. Everyone likes her and she never seems to do anything wrong. Bit too passive. T&T is my first Freud that I've read and I'm enjoying it. The book gives you a unique perspective about religion and primitive social practices. I really liked the chapter that described the taboos that tribal leaders face, like being forced to adhere to very strict diets, in order to make positions of authority as undesirable as possible.
