The Circle Within
by Dianne Sylvan
"The Circle Within" is a book to help the reader explore his/her religious beliefs and develop a detailed, customized daily Wiccan tradition. Sylvan emphasizes the importance of having a daily practice that works for you, rather than forcing yourself to adapt to a set of rites you got out of a book.
This is a fairly short text but it's very thought provoking so far. She gives three "things to think on" at the end of every chapter, and boy howdy do they make me think sometimes!
Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubne
Wow, this book is awesome. You wouldn't think that a piece on economics would be a page turner, but this one is. I will write about it more thoroughly when I'm done, but so far lemme just say it rocks.
