A number of people have asked me what else I am reading and the answer is; nothing. I finished "The Terror" last night and am waiting on my Amazon order to arrive. The order consists of:
Eastward to Tartary: Travels in the Balkans, the Middle East, and the Caucasus by Robert Kaplan.
Cold Skin: A Novel by Sanchez Pinol
Black Lamb and Grey Falcon by Rebecca West
The last entry is the one I am most looking forward to. It's a travelogue of West's trip across Yugoslavia in the early 20th century. It's considered a benchmark of travel writing and is supposedly an illuminating look at the Balkans.

I expected more from your summer reading list. Perhaps the dragons of autumn twilight.
I'd have to go digging in my basement to see if it's still in one of the literature crates, but I recall reading something titled "Balkan Ghosts" that was reasonably good a few years ago. You might take a crack at that if you are enjoying your trip through the post-Soviet Eastern European literary sphere.
