The anthropological standpoint is exactly what I am aiming for. As part of a double-major with Social-Psychology, Theology as the minor. And Thousand Faces looks very interesting, thank you for the recommendation!

You're welcome.

I'm reading a mystery and a non-fic, as usual. Just finished the latest Dresden Files

Rereading A Song of Ice and Fire

Currently on a mission to read some of the classics of sci-fi (and some fantasy) started with Heinlein's:

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

Also got lined up:

The Van Rijn Method by Poul Anderson

Hiero's Journey by Sterling E. Lander

Foundation by Isaac Asimov

Tales of The Dying Earth by Jack Vance

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

The Man in The High Castle by Philip K. Dick

Neuromancer by William Gibson

For now anyway god bless Amazon :D

Gates of Fire: an Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae.
Very good book. It makes "300" look even more ridiculous in retrospect.

About to reread Arrian's Campaigns of Alexander and Plutarch's Lives.
Awash in ancient Greek history.

Love Bradbury. Fahrenheit is a great pick. :) His short stories are great too, like The Martian Chronicles and The Illustrated Man (both are collections). The Veldt in the illustrated man is messed up.

now I'm reading The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov

Final Catcall: A Magical Cats Mystery by Sofie Kelly

(I like cozy mysteries but do not get me wrong my favorite book is Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury ) =)

Was reading a bank statement earlier that has me mystified.

I did something I never do, overdrew.

I'm not rich, have no savings there, no mortgages there, no cd's, just a free little checking account.

Pissing around, I overdrew the whopping sum of 70 cents, as I was playing around and made a mistake in remembering how much I pissed around.

They did NOT charge me! What in the hell, I've been tagged for pennies years ago, but I got to dance this time somehow.

Well, guess what I expected to pay in a fee will go towards a lunch for those at my bank next week.

Best thing I've read in awhile :-)

LOL that is the one book I thought he did end well!!! XD I was so mad I threw the book. I liked it b/c it actually brought out emotions in me rather than just slowly piddling to an end. hahahahaha
the ending for Dark Tower series wasn't too bad either.

I've been reading authors I hadn't read before, trying to find new series as I'm running out. So I recently read a Star Wars book, Dynasty of Evil by Drew Karpyshyn. It was pretty enjoyable.

I also read For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison... turns out I'm reading the series totally out of order. Pretty typical, if decently well-written urban fantasy with paranormal romance elements. Main character has lots of relationships with guys who aren't good for her. *sigh* It's cool that there are canonically LGBT characters though (well, bi at least, possibly a lesbian as well). I'm reading them super out of order... right now I'm reading A Fistful of Charms, which comes right before the one I just finished, and the other book I checked out is much later in the series. Ah well.

Free Ebooks

Not sure if anyone has mentioned Bookbub. They send out emails when they come across free or heavily discounted ebooks from all the usual stores. Good deal for avid readers.

Still Moby Dick.
Gosh, it's so bad... how could this ever become a classic?
