As You Like It by William Shakespeare

Shakespeare is difficult to get through without ever having seen one of his plays, and needing to use Dictionary.com every couple of minutes. It also doesn't help that I read his plays over a period of several months, and am reading over fifty other things at the same time. What I can understand is interesting, and I enjoyed Julius Caesar, since I already knew the basic story.

Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come to Life by Ivan T. Sanderson

This is very interesting, and I had no idea just how many reports of these things (called "ABSMs" in the book) there were. The book was written in the sixties, back when the world was more full of unknowns, and I could probably be convinced of the existence of ABSMs were it not for the fact that we still haven't proved the existence of any of them.

Alfred the Great by Jacob Abott

The author is good at presenting history in an interesting way, without getting too detailed and boring me. With next to no background information on someone, it can be nice to have an easy-to-read book on them. It doesn't feel juvenile, though, which would be no good. I've read his biography of Alexander the Great as well, and plan to tackle the next several if I have time.
