Recently I've read Lost Voices by Sarah Porter. It's a dark YA fantasy about a girl who becomes a mermaid.

I'm also reading Clash of Kings by George R. R. Donaldson. It's the 2nd in his A Song Of Ice And Fire trilogy which is being produced by HBO as Game Of Thrones. Totally engrossing. Not your average sword/sorcery fantasy. Donaldson has NO problem killing off popular characters.

Good Memoir
 
Instead of a Letter--Diana Athill

Producte Description (Amazon): Diana Athill's childhood was idyllic, brought up in the Norfolk countryside. Aged only 15, she fell in love with a young undergraduate. They travelled to Oxford, engaged to be married. Then everything fell apart in the cruellest possible way. In this modern memoir, Diana Athill dissects the terrible consequences of loss and her struggle to rebuild a personality destroyed by sadness.

Manning Up - How the rise of women has turned men into boys by Kay Hymowitz.

Interesting history. Still trying to decide if there is some merit to her conclusions.

It does sound interesting. So is she blaming the behavior of men on feminism?

The Uncoupling
—Meg Wolitzer


When the new drama teacher at Eleanor Roosevelt High School stages a production of Aristophanes' Lysistrata, the town of Stellar Plains is never again the same. The town's women are overtaken by a creeping, cold curse; which leads them to completely disengage from their husbands, lovers and boyfriends. It's funny how a Greek comedy, written in 411 BC about the Peloponnesian War is so timely today: the political climate, the war protests, the unhappy community, the men who fight, and the women who stay behind. This is a smart, topical, unique story which is absolutely done to perfection. Wolitzer's prose is straightforward and clean, leaving her gem of a story to shine, and shine it does.

One of the most amazing real life stories ever. "As Nature Made Him, by John Colapinto. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

A baby boy who's botched circumcision left him without a penis and under advice of a doctor, raised him as a girl. He is a real life hero. Tragically he committed suicide at 38, two years after his twin also committed suicide, and after the book was written. This was a huge lesson in gender assignment taking place in the brain not in the genitals.
