Oh snap, I'm actually between books at the moment. That shouldn't happen.

Last thing I read: American Indian Myths and Legends. Next thing I'm reading: No God but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam. I read some outdoors magazines for Iowa in between these.

I like ethnographies and mythology, interestingly written books about culture, and I also have a soft spot for young adult fiction that has a plot that doesn't center around romance, or where there is significantly more to the plot than JUST romance. I have an extra soft spot for late elementary/early middle school fantasy, since that's pretty much what I grew up on, especially if it's fluffy and girly, but plotwise oriented towards something other than romance. Romance is okay as a spice, not the main ingredient.

I also like humor with supernatural elements. Christopher Moore, Madelein L'engle, and Nick Harkaway are my favorite authors, and The Gone-Away World is my very favorite book of all time. Ask me about it.
