My recent reads:

Gaiman is a good writer and the myths are interesting and charming. The most interesting part to me was getting a glimpse into ancient storytelling and trying to imagine how these stories came to be, why they existed, and what sort of effect they had on the culture. The biggest drawback for me is that I'd really like to know what sort of liberties Gaiman took in making them more interesting. I know it's going to be impossible to get accurate accounts of the actual myths, but I'd like to know what in the myths is Gaiman's creation, what is the distortion of his own sources, and then what was actually shared among the Norse peoples.

Wilber is one of my favorite thinkers. This is an interesting take on our current cultural and political climate.

Rest in peace Ursula. I love her sci fi. This one's about a guy who realizes his dreams are having an effect on his waking reality, changing the universe around him. His therapist catches on to this and begins to use this to his advantage. Loved it.
