The Sacred Prostitute, Eternal Aspects of the Feminine
By Nancy Qualls-Corbett.

I quite like this book, it is small and easy to understand. This is a re-read for me. I have been approached by a maverick social worker to help start a sexual healing program. I have taken quite a few tantra classes as well as training through the sexual assault centre, but then just kinda let the idea go. But, perhaps Spirit has another plan.

It is a good read. I like how she expands on Jung's ideas on Anima. There are some other authors she references I may want to research before our seed meeting.

I'm truly enjoying it. Only on chapter four but it's already made me cry and laugh. A good thing in a book. I borrowed it on my Kindle via Amazon.

I am just about finished with:

The Sisters Brothers by Patrick Dewitt

The book is great. The "voice" of the book is Eli Sisters - a hired killer with a heart. Watching someone who you would presume is completely devoid of feeling dote all over a one-eyed horse is just too adorably absurd to pass over.

I'd suggest it.

I'm also reading Possession by A.S. Byatt. Let me re-phrase: slogging through. It's a Booker Prize winner (like Wolf Hall, which I'm also reading) and I usually like them, but mother of god it's slow. I wouldn't recommend it.

ok i admit i'm not technically "reading" this series
but i just finished the unabridged audio book version of
girl with the dragon tattoo - i thought it was great, it kept my interest and had me along for the whole ride

and i'm just starting
the girl who played with fire

as an aside: simon vance is a great audio book narrator - he sounds completely involved in the story and he has a clear and present timbre that i find very easy on the ears
