What Are You Reading Now?

I have been reading books on Fibromyalgia. I was recently diagnosed with it and I have two friends with it. I borrowed three books from the library. My favorite one was Women Living Fibromyalgia by Mari Skelly. I really liked it and recommend the book. It had stories of women living with the syndrome and how they dealt with it.

I'm reading Abrahadabra by Rodney Orpheus, it's a starter book for learning Thelemic Magick. So far I really like this book, and I am learning a lot.

I'm re-reading 'The Hippopotamus Marsh', the first book of Pauline Gedge's Lord of the Two Lands trilogy.

I love just about everything she writes because she brings Ancient Egypt to life in an incredibly vibrant way including worship of the Gods and as a Kemetic it's particularly fascinating.

I just finished Stephen King's The Wind in the Keyhole. Now I'm all ready for Wolves of the Calla. Again.

Also, I picked up Jesus Through Pagan Eyes: Bridging Neopagan Perspectives with a Progressive Vision of Christ by Rev. Mark Townsend. Given the recent "pagan"/"Christian" discussions here, I decided to look for something that was less either/or and more yes/and. We'll see how that goes.

I am on an audio binge and I just finished that one myself. I love King's reading style.

Currently listening to: Damned by Chuck Palahniuk in the office and lawn and Moral Disorder by Margaret Atwood in the kitchen.

Sit and read: Energy Essential for Witches and Spellcasters by Mya Om.

Because someone had to restart this thread after the move. What are you reading, how is it, and would you recommend it?

Researchy wise I'm reading A Beginner's Guide to Hellenismos and even a few pages in there's quite a lot to get my brain ticking over.

Fiction wise I'm between books but I'm considering starting The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks.

I'm trading back and forth between Cinderella Ate My Daughter and re-reading Silent Spring for the Science Friday "Book Club".

I am currently reading The Good People: New Fairylore Essays. This book is incredible, for folklore-hounds, for general pagans, and for people generally interested in the subject of the Good Folk. I especially like the fact that it talks about fairylore in Canada (where I'm from) as well as in Ireland/Scotland.

Very interesting book, 5-stars, I would recommend it to anybody.

Oooooh! That looks interesting. I'd love to hear what Catja thinks of it.

I'm currently working on _Trance-Portation: Learning to Navigate the Inner World_, by Diana Paxson, for research and path-building; and just started _Kushiel's Chosen_, by Jacqueline Carey, for fiction fun and brain rehabilitation.
