Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately

I didn't find the Book of Pagan Prayer from the shop I visited but instead I picked a copy of A Pagan Ritual Prayer Book, also by Ceisiwr Serith. And I love it! I've been looking for that kind of book for years (yeah, even when I wasn't a proper Pagan yet).
The prayers in the book vary a lot and it also presents many deities I haven't even heard of. It also has a brief introduction on prayer, poetry and ritual.
And it looks nice. Like a prayer book (or what a prayer book looks for me), instead of a shiny fantasy novel kind of cover design, with authors name in huge 'gothic' letters on it.

You can find it on Amazon. It's about $15.00 when I looked it up today.

Just finished Beastly Bones by William Ritter. I have a soft spot for Sherlock Holmes, and this version happens to be fantastic!! There not very long either and quite delightful.

Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately

So I finished Wastelands 2 and now I decided to listen Vacation by Matthew Costello (maybe a different take on the traditional zombie apocalypse group of survivors tale?*

But then! But then my library came in with a book I had on hold. Clive Barker's new audiobook called The Scarlet Gospels. It's the continuation of PINHEAD! OMG. I can't even handle.
*fan girl squee*

Am I the only one with a Pinhead action figurine?

Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately

Out shopping today I found a new independent bookshop has just opened! I came out with "Capital Crimes", a collection of vintage crime stories set in London and published by the British Library, of all people. And I still haven't started "The Goblin Emperor" by Katherine Addison, which I bought last week. Then there's the selection from the Greek Anthology that arrived today and the "Characters" of Theophrastus that's in the post. I think I need a longer day and bigger flat!

Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately

Last book I read was "You Can...Write Your Book in a Weekend", by Tom Bird. Absolutely not recommended. The author has crawled deep into his own butt and made a home there. The first half is him going on about how his writing is a connection to god and if you're having trouble writing, you need to form the same connection, personifying parts of his brain, and making up acronyms that I'm sure he thought were very interesting and clever.

So I skipped ahead to his actual writing process. Once I got to the part where he said you should be writing 12,000 words a day, I gave up. Yeah, I get that "write a lot a day" is how to get a book done faster, but some of us physically can't do that much in a day. You stay in your butt, Tom.
