50 Book Challenge
24. Sailing to Sarantium, Guy Gavriel Kay
25. Lord of Emperors, Guy Gavriel Kay
The Sarantine Mosaic series. I quite enjoyed it, but then, it's politics and art and politics regarding art and also magic. Whee!
26. Whore Carnival, Shannon Bell
Despite heralding itself as a book that covers the geneaology of prostitution, Whore Carnival is a series of interviews that deal with the lives of here-and-now, mostly Canadian, escorts, streetwalkers, pornographers, and one john. It's a super-interesting read, from a perspective we [societally] don't often get. And now I can finally give it back to Jen. :)
27. Inferno, Dante Alighieri, tr. Robin Kirkpatrick, with essays and commentary
Finally getting around to reading these. Next: Purgatory and Paradise.
28. God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, Christopher Hitchens
Mostly a look at all the bad things religion and religiosity has caused, and a denunciation of it. Despite preaching to the choir [hah] - at least in terms of atheism - I found myself annoyed at his tone in places. Currently working on a book that is quite similar - that is, The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.
29. Today I Will...: How to finally change a habit, keep a resolution, or make a dream come true..., M.J. Ryan
Interesting enough that I'm willing to give some of the suggestions a try. Nothing really new from other self-help books, though her writing style is amusing.
30. Roma Eterna, Robert Silverberg
An alternate-universe piece of science fiction, in which the Roman Empire does not collapse, but rather lasts well into their 21st century (or later - I can't entirely recall). Their time does not move quite as ours does, with inventions and such occuring at different dates, and it all the while remains Rome. Interesting if you like AU fiction.
31. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling
After long and deliberate consideration, I still haven't decided if this is #1 or #2.
Still working on: In the Night Garden, Book 3 of The Dresden Files, The God Delusion, a set of Lovecraft stories that will probably need renewing, The Last Light of the Sun, The Roses of Roazon.
