I know Our Patron is coming out with a new book shortly, but what's everyone reading right now?
I've been re-reading the Harry Potter series since January. I'm currently on Order Of The Phoenix. I need(ed) something fun and magical to take my mind off of real world events.
I'm also reading A Study In Brimstone (Warlock Holmes book #1), by G.S. Denning. It's kind of uneven. The title story is one novella and then there are several short stories following it up. The author doesn't seem to QUITE know what he wants to do with a magical Sherlock Holmes, but the moments when he gets it "right" are just about perfect. There is one more book in the series so far, and I hope they'll continue, because I feel like they have potential.
In non-fiction, I'm reading Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi, by Amy-Jill Levine, which is her take on the meaning of Jesus' parables from the point of view of a Jewish person who is a scholar of first century Judaism. I'm also working my way through New Seeds of Contemplation, by Thomas Merton. It's usually the last thing I read before going to bed at night.
I started reading The Hangman's Daughter, by Oliver Potzsch, a while back but it was a little too serious and gory for my mood at the time. However, the writing is good and the story is exciting, so I'll probably get back to it when I finish at least one of the other fiction books I'm reading.
