Actually, right now I'm reading a few books.

1. Leaving the Saints: How I lost the Mormons and found my Faith by Martha Beck

I am almost done with this one. I found her writing style to be very emotive and engaging. As a storyteller she's awesome. I have to question the factualness of parts of this though. I think it's a bit overexaggerated and she comes off as a narcissistic heroine even to my agnostic fiance (so, I don't think it's just me). Perhaps, location is everything.

2. Relax, you're already home by Raymond Barnett, Ph.D.

I think it has good advice so far. It doesn't seem to be as informative as I was looking for. I think I'm going to have to try again for a decent book on Taoism.

3. The Druid Source Book by John Matthews

Lots of information and I think he tries to present it impartially. I'm not completely done yet. He writes in a sort of text book style that makes me want to sleep. I'm going to try to finish it. Even if it is textbookish the information is interesting.

4. Idoru by William Gibson

It's sort of science fiction, but I can't bring myself to get past the first page. It's not very engaging from the get go. In fact, if the story continues in this vain I'm going to return it to the library without actually having finished it.
