The Persian Boy

by Mary Renault

I'm reading this as part of my "learn more about Alexander the Great" phase. It's about the second half of Alexander's life and is from the point of view of Bagoas, the Persian eunuch who was involved with him.

The Dance of the Dissedent Daughter

By Sue Monk Kidd

I can tell it's winter, I'm reading introspective books. I'm re-reading this one, which is about a woman who was raised Baptist but became dissatisfied with the Christian church's minimalization of women and set out to find the divine feminine presence. It is incredibly cool.

I will probably start re-reading my Starhawk books after this, then go in search of new stuff.
