Reading List

I don't know, so many cool friends seem to have a reading list, and I thought I'd share mine too.

I went over to Venus Envy yesterday for its 8th birthday after the Farmer's Market (I got myself daffodils!) and bought myself two books.

So, here are books I have but haven't read yet and should read:
- Essential Sufism (Fadiman & Frager) - Working on this one right now.
- Solitary Wicca for Life (Murhpy-Hiscock)
- Tartuffe (MOliere - why I haven't read this yet, considering it's been a year in my possession, is a mystery)
- The Broken Wings (Khalil Gibran)
- The Soul of Man (Oscar Wilde)
- Beyond Power (Marilyn French, this seems to be a leading feminist text)*
- Shattering the Stereotypes: Muslim Women Speak Out
- Children of the Waters (Ibtihal Salem)
- Unthinking Eurocentrism
- How to Write a Dirty Story (Susie Bright)*

* These books were what I bought from Venus Envy. I was tempted to throw a novelty vibrator in (it was in the shape of a lipstick!!) but decided against it, since I wouldn't really use it all that much.

Here are books I don't have but want to read:
- Satanic Verses (Salman Rushdie)
- Origins of Family, Private Property & State (Friedrich Engels)
- No Exit (Sartre)
- Oscar Wilde & The Poetics of Ambiguity (Gillespie)*
- From Eve to Dawn (Marilyn French - I saw this book yesterday but what I didn't get it, is also a mystery)
- Beyond the Veil (Fatima Mernissi)*

* These books had actually been borrowed from local libraries but because they weren't pertinent to my research, I had to return them.


Okay, I'm pretty tired today since I was awake till 4am reading Johanna Lindsey's new novel Marriage Most Scandalous. I swear, that woman grows better with her mystery twists novel after novel. But because of the 4am sleeptime, I would really like to go take my new laptop out for a spin in the sun and can't because I am so dang tired.
