Frank is 56% done with The Goldfinch
This is better than I had expected. It proceeds in a series of episodes with rather sharp breaks. This is held to be a defect in literature, although it is often how life really is and, here it works. Compelling stuff.

Frank is 20% done with Radical Uncertainty: Decision-Making Beyond the Numbers
It wasn't immediately clear from the title, but the concern of this book is the nature (and limitations) of notions of probability from the point of view of economics. It therefore only tangentially addresses epistemological questions.

Frank is 25% done with The Pursuit of Power: Europe 1815 - 1914
Very much part of the "one damned thing after another" school of history. This can be taxing at 1000+ pages, yet the discussion of social changes makes it worthwhile.
