Since I've had my reader I been reading a lot more fiction and a lot less non-fiction. The non-fiction books that I read are generally concerned with linguistics, but I also like to read biographies, books about mythology, books about various religions that I would like to learn more about, books about food (not limited only to recipes) and ancient history. I just picked up a book called "A History of Celibacy" from the library which looks interesting (my husband rolled his eyes when he saw me pick that one up!).
I need to read more books about mythology. I took a course on mythology once, but there are so many gods, goddesses, demigods and heroes that it's impossible to keep track of them all. Of course, the situation isn't helped by the fact that each culture has their own individual legends and myths.
