Basically, this topic deals with books that you are currently reading. But there are a few more reasons I started this specific topic. If a moderator wants to add the whole "(One post per ten posts)" thing onto the topic, feel free.
Anyway, for the first part of the topic:
I am currently reading Servant of the Shard by R.A. Salvatore. I am not that far into it as I have a hard time finding time to sit down and read for any great length, but I am sure it will be a great book. The majority of the things I have read by Salvatore turn out to be incredible, so I have high hopes for it. Can't go wrong with Entreri and Jarlaxle anyway.
Now for the main reason I started this topic. I didn't suspect a lot of people here would be able to help me out, which is why I added the first bit. Anyway, this part deals with my need for a recommendation or two on a book. More specifically, Goethe's Faust.
I have heard nothing but great things about this book. However, with those great things, I have noticed a lot of people saying that it is both an incredibly intelligent book and an incredibly difficult read, how true those both are is not for me to say, which is why I turn to the people here. Has anyone ever read Faust? Could you recommend a specific translation that I should look into?
I am currently looking at Kaufmann's translation, which is being heralded as "the best translation available.". Is there truth in that statement?

For those not interested in reading long posts, I offer you an abridged version:
What book are you currently reading? I am reading Servant of the Shard by R.A. Salvatore. Good book.
Could you recommend a translation for Goethe's Faust? Would you recommend reading Faust at all?
That should do it.
