Reading Gender Outlaw by Kate Bornstein right now. I'm debating on recommending it from now on as a good starting place for people who want to learn about trans* and gender issues. Fundamentally, at least so far, its pretty damn good and accessible, but it also came out in the early nineties and a lot has happened in gender studies since then. Also the use of words that are more accepted to be slurs now (does that make sense? Like she uses the word "hermaphrodite when I think she means intersex) that would make me a bit nervous lending the book to someone who might take it as a pass to use slurs.

Finished reading "Haunted Ontario" by Terry Boyle. A neat series of anecdotes and tales, easy reading.

The Deed Of Paksenarion by Elizabeth Moon. Not goth by any means but I dig fantasy a lot. I read this when I was like 13 so I'm revisiting it to see how it holds up.

Possession, by A.S.Byatt.

It's a little slow so far, but the premise is good and I'm hoping it will pick up. The writing style is pretty, anyway.

"I, Lucifer" by Glen Duncan. I haven't read this one in years but I need something different.

BourbonBoy 12-16-2014 09:52 PM

"A Nomad of the Time Streams" by Michael Moorcock. Excellent Steam Punk stories full of warships of the air, steam engines, a disgruntled British imperialist turned anarchist and time travel.

Molster 08-27-2015 07:35 AM

Sleeping Late on Judgement Day by Tad Williams (3rd of the Bobby Dollar novels)

Hi MoonCreature. As You can see by my username I'm a big fan of Michael Moorcock. I read his stuff back in the mid 70s and he was one of my main inspirations to become Goth. Elric of Melnibone is by far his finest creation. Let me know what you think of it. I have all the Elric novels, some from back in the late 1960s and I love them. - Pete

Hi Bourbonboy, as I said to MoonCreature, I'm a big fam of Moorcock (hence dubbing myself Stormbringer) the guy's a phemomenon and contributed a lot to the creation of steampunk and dare I say, goth itself. Enjoy !

Currently reading Clive Barker's The Books of Blood: Volume 4 and Abarat. I'm also working my way through A Feast for Crows. I'm hoping to start Barker's new book The Scarlet Gospels soon.
