Vodou in Haitian Life and Culture (2006). Nice collection of essays that expounds upon how Vodou is imbued into all aspects of the life of the Haitian. As opposed to the secular lifestyles of the Occident, the Haitian peoples do not divorce physical reality from spiritual reality, and these essays help to understand how Haitians view their spiritually infused reality.

[QUOTE=Geddy;831628]Re-reading The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald

/QUOTE]

Have I said that's my favorite book before? If I haven't, let me just tell you I've read it over thirty times and it was a HUGE influence on my personal style. Fitzgerald is the master of negative space.

The Evolution of Human Societies: From Foraging Group to Agrarian State by Johnson and Earle. What is scary is that, after 12 years of collage and 43 years of life, i am still reading college textbooks for pleasure. So far it is a pretty interesting read if ya are into reading about anthropology, cultural evolution, and ethnology. Ashe.

Feeding Ground by Sarah Pinborugh (Mutant spiders on crack terrorize London!!), and Depraved by Bryan Smith (Disgustingly nasty backwoods community don't take too well to strangers!!!)...Both awesome and both out in Leisure paperback.

Cool, I'll check that out. Now I'm reading The Hobbit.

Songs for the Missing, by Stewart O'Nan - I'm about 50 pages in and already it's meticulously written, deeply sad, compelling. I can't wait to get back to it.
