Okay last month wasn't as good as I hoped, I only posted two reviews and am posting the last two during the first weekend in July. But every month brings new promise. Like I did with last month, this month I am planning on experimenting a little. Because in months past, I often missed a book or two, I won't set the deadlines for when the reviews will be posted. Instead these reviews are scheduled to appear sometime in July hopefully. (Though some may have to be moved if so needed.)
This month there will be two main themes: Magical Realism in Fiction and Non-Fiction and Alternate Looks at Favorite Characters.
What's the comparison? Well nothing really, except they are both fun ideas. We are going to get a hold-over non-fiction book from last month which is the definitive work about Neo-Paganism in the United States. Then we will explore yet another spiritual journey courtesy of Paulo Coelho. We also explore the first book by the influential and controversial Carlos Castaneda describing his friendship with the enigmatic Don Juan Matus.
We also will look at the world of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland seen through the eyes of a new visitor. We will also explore the teen and adulthood years of some childhood favorites: The Peanuts gang and Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective (or characters who strongly resemble them).
So without further ado, here they are, July's reads:
1.Classics Corner: Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshipers and Other Pagans in North America by Margot Adler
2. Weekly Reader: The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho
3. Weekly Reader Bonus: Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead by Bert V. Royal
4.Weekly Reader: After Alice by Gregory Maguire
5. Classics Corner: The Teachings of Don Juan Matus: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge by Carlos Castaneda
6. Weekly Reader: The Boy Detective Fails by Joe Meno
