To stir a magick caldroun by Silver RavenWolf

Right now? Well, this email and the words I'm typing, duh. How 'bout, what was I reading before this? That's more interesting.   I was reading up on Egyptian deities and dress for my corpse contribution. Always have loved that stuff.

Right now I am reading Before Their Time, a book about four generations of teenage mothers, and On the Road by Jack Kerouac. I get bored wasily so I have to have at least two books to read at once. = )

My emails. The book that I'm currently reading is "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. And I have to re-read "Animal Farm" and "Macbeth" for school  a few times. I particularly hate "Macbeth".

Last three books: Finished Dharma Bums by Kerouac (best one I've read by him so far) last Monday. Finished Ham on Rye by Bukowski Friday or so. Currently half-way thru Bukowski: A Life by Chernovski. Reading a real bio of someone after reading their own fictionalized autobiographical  stuff is pretty interesting (at least in this case). Should finish that by Thursday and then go to either Visions of Cody by Kerouac or start getting into Hemingway.

What am I reading right now? I'm reading your new question silly!HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!   Actually, I'm reading a book entitled "Seat of the Soul". I heard about it watching Oprah.  That guy that wrote the book was on her show, Gary Zuvak, I believe is his name. In my opinion, he's a really smart guy and he's very DEEP. OOooo. I like that. He really kept my attention and I believe he knows what he's talking about. So, I bought one of his books.  And so far, I like it. I've only read the first chapter, I only bought it a week or so ago and I haven't had much time to read it . But what I have read, I like. It's supposedly a really popular book.  I also bought a book called "Mars and Venus". It was on sale at Hallmark in the mall so I bought it. I think I only paid 2 dollars for it. And it's pretty good too. I've read the first couple of chapters. I kinda read some on one book and some on another, I don't know why. But that's just how I do it.

I am reading "The Island Within" by Richard Nelson

Rebecca G.

I just finished my first Harry Potter book--the author is pretty good, does well w/ plot & stuff, but she's no Philip Pullman and not as sacrilegious (SP?) as I was expecting. Meanwhile I have a pile of books in Ames and a shelf of them in Marshalltown which has overflowed--I have to put up a new bookshelf there. In my Ames stack are: Endymion by Keats, Mind of the Raven by Heinrich, Marble Heart by Mulrooney, The Last Ranch by Bingham, Healing and the Mind by Moyers, The Workshop (a collection), Bird by Bird by Lamott, Richard Wetherill: Anasazi by McNitt, The Writings of Emerson, The Brendan Voyage by Severin, and The Blaskets: People and Literature by McConghail.

Obviously I'm reading my email. But in a broader interpretation of "now", I've just finished reading a Jane Haddam formula PI novel. Last night I read an article from the December National Geographic. And I heard John Updike interviewed yesterday on the radio and think I might try his "Rabbit" novels.

Anywhere where there's culture to be learned, things to see, and land to be conquered. I went to the Yucatan Peninsula a few years ago and explored the Maya ruins and LOVED it. That's the kind of vacation I like. South America, Italy, Africa, China...get the picture! Who has time for vacation though?
