Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately
I'm about to start reading "The Urban Primitive" by Raven Kaldera and Tannin Schwartzstein. I know of Mr. Kaldera through the BDSM community and I own one of his books in that realm ("Real Service" by himself and his boy, Joshua Tenpenny). I really enjoyed that, so I'll be interested to see what he has here. I know from his website that his path is very...intense, so I'm prepared for that.

Finished The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. Good suspenseful novel. And now I'm back to the parasites! Symbiont: Parasitology series by Mira Grant. I'm so excited to have her original narrator continue with this sequel.Satan is my spirit animal

Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately
I spent my week (plus two weekends) off work and without a computer a) reading and b) playing Terraria with the kids and c) playing outside. I read a total of 23 books in all...and am somewhat ashamed at my gluttony. Lets just say that I'm only a high maintenance girl when it comes to reading (and I'm not the only one, Hubby and Phee read a ton too...Sharkbait is still on the picutre book, easy to read stuff).
Thalassa's Book Marathon:
*Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series (5 books of steampunk fantasy with a bit of romance) and what she has out of her Finishing School series (a YA series that is a prequel to the Parasol Portectorate and so far--there are only 3 books--offers some background and has a lovely twist on what it means to finish well)...so basically, I'm all caught up for when she releases her next book (the first of a new series), which happens about 20 years after the Parasol Protectorate books. All in all, her books are charming and well written, always in high fashion and manners (very Victorian) and she's done some fascinating things with warewolves, ghosts, and vampires (while not making them sparkly).
*10 books from of Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark (IAD) series (which is billed as paranormal romance, but is really more of an urban fantasy with lots of naughty time). Their plots are novel as an idea, but sort of cheesy and formulatic with themselves (sort of like John Mayer and Nickleback), but I like the world building and I'm a fan of most of the carachters.
*Death by Black Hole by Neil Degrasse Tyson, Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms by Gerard Russel (an excellent book on some of the disappearing minority religions in the Middle East, that I discovered via NPR's Fresh Air), Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins (a big fat science storybook of evolution--its really good, though chewy), Parenting Children With ADHD by Vincent Monastra (exactly what it sounds like), and Utterly Wicked by Dorothy Morrison (a book of curses and the like--I met the author a couple years ago and she was really sweet, so...)
And right now, I'm reading The Earth, the Gods, and the Soul by Brendan Myers and rereading Richard Dawkins' Greatest Show on EarthWonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of HistoryPagan Devotionals, because the wind and the rain is our Bible

I'm reading:
- A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (1936 copy, it smells like gold and must and happiness)
- This Sky by Autumn Doughton (not my usual cup of tea, but I just got a Kindle and thought I'd try it out)
- The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien
