The Currently Reading bit of the right sidebar should really be called Currently Broken. I was running into problems with an older version of the Media Manager plugin for Movable Type, which pretty much appeared out of nowhere. I upgraded to the latest version, which displays it data in an entirely different was (so not obvious based on the notes I'd read). I need to redo that sidebar to get things to appear correctly. I'm currently reading Fish on Friday: Feasting, Fasting, And Discovery of the New World, which has been a pretty decent read on the rise of fishing and preservation technology in the Dark Ages to the discovery of North America.
