Re: What are you reading now?
Damned Whores and God's Police - The Colonisation of Women in Australia, a historical social commentary written in the 70s from the perspective of a feminist, Anne Summers, and which I read now with the perspective of a humanist.

Re: What are you reading now?
Just finished the Ender's Shadow series again by Orson Scott Card. I really like the first books in the series but as they progress the author's mormonism starts taking over a bit. Oh well.
I'm currently trying to find our copy of Stranger in a Strange Land, which I have been meaning to read for almost a year but I have no idea where it's gone and hid itself.

Re: What are you reading now?
Started reading my summer books for AP Literature next year. Started light with Gulliver's Travels. Only made it through the first chapter due to having to read an introduction, acknowledgments, about the author, amendment, ect ect ect. x_x
Next maybe I'll read the mythology book he also assigned, though it's all Greek so I know nearly all of them already.
