The Man Who Knew Too Much is also a collection of mysteries and follows a slightly more conventional early British detective fiction style. (The detective character has some things in common with Sayers' Lord Peter Whimsey but lacks Lord Peter's gift of gab.)
I also just started Arcanum Unbound by Brandon Sanderson after having a couple of friends enthusiastically recommend The Emperor's Soul which, conveniently enough, was the first story in the collection.

I finished The Women Who Wrote the War; it was quite good but I needed to take it at chapter a time just because of the scale and scope. It gave an interesting view of WWII, especially for one who tends to focus on certain areas to the exclusion of others. I left this book wanting to read more about certain areas and figures.
For my next non-fiction read I dove into Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death which talks about how a culture is influenced by its primary form of communication.
...I feel like there's at least one other book in my recent leapfrogging from volume to volume that I wanted to comment on but now I can't think of what it is.
