So since this forum holds the book discussions I was thinking maybe we should have a place to just list the books we are reading right now.

Pagan related materials include:
Lore
Psychology about Myths
General Mythology Books
Folk Lore and Fairy Tales
History Texts related to the culture/faith

Oh Gods, I know. I've got to write an epic, complete with all the conventions of an epic, with an invented culture for my mythology class. I keep rereading the same couple of pages trying to figure out how to get unstuck.

I just finished reading a pair of books. The first was Eon, the second was Eona. Both very good. Highly recommended to people who are interested in fantasy dealing with a feudal Japanese/Chinese-inspired culture, magic, and dragons. Very well written.

I am also now reading a book on characterization for writers by Orson Scott Card.

I actually do like writing geology reports (espescially reports on hydrogeology). sweatdrop

I really hate writing biology reports. I wrote a report on the development of zebrafish embryos and they entire time I was writing the report I kept saying "I really don't give a s**t about this...." xd
