| | What I'm reading *
I've always read. While growing up, reading was a refuge when I found life too unpleasant or stressful. Consequently I've bought a lot of books over time as well.
Now that I'm no longer in the rich corporate phase of my life I've rediscovered the library. Dayton's library may be maligned by some but is still a great resource. One type of book I like to read is gay fiction and I was surprised to see a lot of it in the Dayton library's catalog. Plus you can even ask them to buy particular titles, and they will!
Below you can see the five most recent books either that I'm reading or that I've acquired. You can search my books, or you can see all my books. Also my classes page has links back to this page for the books for each class.

| 2005-01-07 | 0812505182 | The Magic of Recluce (Recluce series book 1) | Modesitt, L.E., Jr. | | | | The first book in a series, Magic of Recluce is told in first person from the point of view of Lerris, a young man who has tons of questions about his homeland, Recluce, and how his society and world work, a good gimmick because we learn as he does. As is so often the case in worlds which have magic, everyone's kind of stuck in the Middle Ages when it comes to technology, or in Recluce's case, the 1800s since they do have steam engines, although, as you'll learn, using them involves interesting moral decisions involving Order and Chaos, the two forces governing everyone's lives in this book. If you're into fantasy series, this one seems worth getting into, although I'm a bit late to it myself. | |
