| | 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.

| 2007-02-16 | 0345416260 | Pope Joan | Cross, Donna | | | | A friend of mine told me about this book, which is a fictional account of the life of Pope Joan, a quasi-historical figure purported to have been the Roman Catholic Church's only female pope. Whether you believe Joan was a real person or not, Cross's story is entertaining and offers insights into the history of Europe and the workings of the Church at a time when not all Europe was yet Christianized and when life wasn't easy, particularly for women. | |
