I'd like to know if there are any other bookworms out there.
If so, are you currently reading anything?
Do you have a favorite book?
Do you have any recommendations, magic or non-magic related?

I'm currently reading Modern Witchcraft Spell Book by Skye Alexander, this author has a lot of good books in witchcraft (: she goes over things in very good detail.
Late reply sorry, I'm reading The Shining at the moment, so much better than the film!
Magic related- Anything by Scott Cunningham is great in my opinion
I haven't read much of Scott Cunningham's stuff, nor have I read any of the other books posted about besides The Shining. It's one of my favorite books though, and I want to re-read it soon.
Scott Cunningham is fine to me. I mean, sometimes the way he describes the Goddess in comparison to the God makes me go "ughhh" but overall, he's a decent author.
I haven't had much time to read for fun since I started grad school :( I really miss books, but I feel like when you have to read so much at school the last thing you want to do is come home and read again.
When I do have some time, however, I bought "The Price of Freedom" which is a telling of Pirates of the Caribbean: namely, Jack's exploits when he was younger. I'm obsessed with pirates and Jack Sparrow's character in general so I'll be excited to crack it open. It's just quite a large book for me to try and read right now.
Favorite book is hard to say. I have a soft spot in my heart for poetry collections and 18th century literature. I loooove Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility. The Bronte sisters were fantastic authors. Poetry-wise, I love Edgar A. Poes collections as well as Robert Frost. And a book I love just for fun is, of course, Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass.
I have a set of books I return to over and over again. The DragonLance Saga. I keep at the house four of them from the Chronicles. I've owned many over the years (well over 50 have been written), but those four I keep.
