What book(s) are you currently reading?

[Richard]

I'm re-reading John Crowley's enchanting novel Little, Big.

 

[Bhavana]

i'm still working my way thru Dracula, and the Jane Stern Confessions of....but am now also reading "The Grizzly Maze: Timothy Treadwell's Obsession with Alaskan Brown Bears"....I saw the movie 'Grizzly Man' - sort of a documentary on him, including all of the footage from his years spent with the bears - and I know this may sound awful, but with the exception of the fact that he was so horribly killed, I found the film highly amusing - the guy was a nutcase. How he managed to stay alive as long as he did is certainly a testament to the incredible patience of the brown bear.

Am reading Tarosophy at the minute by Marcus Katz. A really interesting book with some great exercises.

 

[Amaterasu]

Tarot-related: I'm reading Lisa Hunt's companion book to her Fairytale deck. And I might pick up some of Rachel Pollack's works later.

Not related: Steampunk: An Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories and Baked: New Frontiers in Baking (I read cookbooks before going to sleep, heh)

Steampunk: An Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories and Baked: New Frontiers in Baking (I read cookbooks before going to sleep, heh)

I conflated these two and thought you were talking about a Steampunk Baking book...

What I'm reading --

fiction -- Patrick O'Brian, Post Captain and just finished Richard Adams, Tales from Watership Down
non-fiction -- Frances Yates, Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition -- this one I only do a bit at a time

 

[astronautica]

I've been working my way through 78 Degrees of Wisdom on my lunch breaks for some time now... I'll finish it eventually

Non-tarot related, I'm reading Richard Yates' Revolutionary Road and Bret Easton Ellis's Less Than Zero, and loving them both to pieces!

How are you finding Tales from Watership Down? I started reading Watership Down and don't remember why I gave up on it... it was so lovely. Definitely going back on my to-read list (And I would love to see a steampunk baking book haha!)

 

[Le Fanu]

I'm reading Perdurabo; slog

Also reading Rachel Pollock´s Tarot Wisdom; slog.

I thought I liked tarot but these two reads are a bit tough to get through. I think I'll get me a novel of some sort!

 

[gregory]

I am still with Perdurabo too. But I am going to HAVE to read something easier alongside it or I will DIE.....

Probably the Illuminatus trilogy

 

[Patrick Booker]

'Man or Matter' by Ernst Lehrs (Anthroposophical science), 'Jesus Christ, Sun of God' by David Fideler (Christian Gnosticism) and 'Awakening' by William Horwood (a fantasy novel).

[Babalon Jones]

Hah I am still wading through Perdurabo too, off & on, and recently read the Illuminatus trilogy too gregory!

Right now I'm on book 5 of the Game of Thrones series by George RR Martin: Dances with Dragons...
