Fiction-wise I'm reading Echoes of Us [outgoing link: goodreads] by Kat Zhang, which is the third in The Hybrid Chronicles, which has been an amazing ride in a kinda dystopian alternate universe sorta thing where everyone is born with two souls. It addresses issues of discrimination really well, but I'm also particularly impressed by the way it addresses different levels and different kinds of discrimination. Certain characters being in more danger because of how they look or where they came from, for instance. And there are so many independent women characters!! Many thanks to saintfelicity actually for pseudo-recommending it (I found it on her to-read list). Non-fiction-wise, I'm picking slowly through James MacKillop's Myths and Legends of the Celts [outgoing link: goodreads], which is so far really really good! Thanks to Ciar for the recommendation on that one.

Just got Six Korean Women: the socialization of shamans in the mail today. Will be reading that until I leave for cali, so hopefully I can get a review of it up on the 무교 resources thread. I have a few other books in a similar vein that should be arriving this week. 89

I was reading 2010: Odyssey Two but then I got sucked into rereading the various Tolkien stuff I've got. I'm going through the Grey Annals now and using bits of it for horrible Homestuck fanfiction. Because that is how I study apparently. I start making stuff with it and Homestuck fanfiction is just the easiest bet for me.

I'm a little over halfway through Hunger by Lan Samantha Chang and it's beautiful.
I've got a mighty stack of nonfiction to pick from and I can't decide which I want to read neeeeext

I'm partway through House of Leaves but in some spots it gets hard to read for me so it's been taking a while. I'm also just about to start Blood Red Road by Moira Young

I have issues staying to one book obviously...So I'm now working my way through all the following books simultaneously: - When Women Were Warriors: Warriors Path by Catherine M. Wilson
- Celtic Myths edited by Jake Jackson
- Irish Witchcraft From an Irish Witch by Lora O'Brien
- A Practical Guide to Irish Spirituality by Lora O'Brien
- 101 Great Philosophers by Madsen Pirie
I also need to sit down and read my library book The King with Horse Ears and Other Irish Folktales. Because it's cute.
...I actually need to sit down and read all those books but in time. In time.

I'm also just about to start Blood Red Road by Moira Young Oh man HOUSE OF LEEEEEEEEAAVESSSSSSSSS I read it for a postmodern lit class and fell in love I'm very overdue for a reread. Fun fact Danielewski's sister is the singer Poe and she did a whole album based off the book. Haunted is my favorite, but the remix of Hey Pretty has the author reading part of HoL in it, which is pretty cool. I just started Blood of Tyrants, by Naomi Novik. History and dragons, my two favorite things.

I'm also just about to start Blood Red Road by Moira Young This may not be very encouraging of me to say BUT I absolutely could not get through House of Leaves, and I never don't finish books. I'll definitely be curious to hear what you think when you finish! I just finished The Custom of the Country by Edith Wharton and it was fantastic, probably my favorite of hers that I've read so far. I think I'm going to read Beloved by Toni Morrison next.

Getting through Dracula again because I might end up doing my film paper on an adaptation of it. Just going to blaze the fuck through it once and then go through it again later in the semester taking notes. All the notes.

Buried under a pile of books about ancient Egypt again. Trying to read brick-sized "Isis magic" by Isidora Forrest. And picking random bits from other books here and there... Recent result of Amazon book shopping, to impress you (some of the books were not for me): Also on the halfway through "Myth of persecution" on Kindle (about early christian martyrs: debunking myths of lives of saints?)
