Half-way through Dangerous Women, edited by one G.R.R. Martin. The stories are hit and miss for me, and some actually end up with the supposedly dangerous woman being defeated by fate or stronger men. Some of my favorite so far include the Dresden Files spin-off and a short story by Lawrence Block. Typically strong entries from Joe Abercrombie and Brandon Sanderson.

Dangerous != invincible. Real characters rather than Mary Sues is a good thing, so a few characters losing can be a good thing literary-wise.

The history of England by Jane Austen. To a non-English person, at least, curious and sometimes morbidly light-hearted.
