nekosenseiLooks like I've got more book titles to add to the list...
1. Foreigner by C.J. Cherryh
2. The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman
3. My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult
4. Invader by C.J. Cherryh
5. Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger
6. The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly
7. Weird Illinois by Troy Taylor
8. Complete Idiot's Guide to Wicca and Witchcraft by Denise Zimmerman
9. Wild Child by T.C. Boyle
10. Drawing Down the Moon by Margot Adler
11. The Spiral Dance by Starhawk
12. From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris
13. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides [audiobook] -- The story revolves around an individual who was raised as a girl and, when she turned sixteen, discovered that she was a hermaphrodite. This is a very good book, especially if you are interested in topics revolving around gender and gender identity.
14. The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley -- This one took me all damn summer to read because I was crazy busy with work. Overall, it's a good story, but I found it a bit un-even. Some times, the story hooked me and I couldn't put the book down. Other times, especially towards the end, I couldn't care less about what the characters were doing. I think it would have been better if it were a shorter novel...around 600 pages or so instead of 800.
15. Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein -- Now this is an awesome book! And I'm sure the second half of the novel scandalized some readers when it came out in the early 1960s with all the "free love" and such. Two big thumbs up.
And...the next book I plan to pick up is House of Leaves. A bunch of people on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
