Also my college degree is in Anthropology and am interested in both Celtic and Native American mythology.  : |
I finished reading Urban Shaman by C.E. Murphy. An interesting and a quite different approach to Urban Fantasy than I've been exposed to before. Now I've just began reading
A Deeper Sleep by Dana Stabenow, the 15th book in the Kate Shugak Mysteries series.
I'm a couple of chapters into
A Deeper Sleep and just ran into this paragraph:

Johnny, who obviously still had a lot of work ahead of him before he could start violating all the known laws of physics, gave up and trudged mournfully to his bedroom. Not neglecting to take the copy of the latest Harry Dresden novel with him, even though Kate’s bookmark was prominently clasped at the halfway mark.

Dana often refers to a book or series that I've read in these Kate Shugak books.
