Just finished Stephen Mitchell's Witchcraft and Magic in the Nordic Middle Ages. Excellent research stuff, and very useful to my own studies.

Sounds great. As for me: Mysteries and Secrets of Magic by C. J. S. Thompson.

I wish I had started this thread on january 1st which would have been fitting, but I only came up with the idea yesterday.

And what I was going to say about your post is, you finished all those books in a day? Damn, I feel inadequate. :nod:

EDIT: Okay, you must've edited your post and it took a bit to catch up. In any case, this has all been much more complicated a reply than I intended :lol:.

Yes - my fault. scanned and assumed you were doing it from the end of the year. I would have had a good list from then. I'm into War and Peace so my list will be small as a result... still reading it - jolly good it is though.

W&P should count for about 10 books, I'd say. :nod:

1. Doomsday Book by Connie Willis
2. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
3. A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
4. Paradiso by Dante

Finished two books on the same day!

I'd re-read Frankenstein for pleasure, and tackled Clive Tolley's Shamanism in Norse Myth and Magic for work. The former was great, the latter less so.

My reading for the 1st two months of 2011:

Outliers - Malcolm Gladwell
Unless - Carol Shields
Animal Farm - George Orwell
The White Tiger - Aravind Adiga
The Adventures of Augie March - Saul Bellow
Wide Sargasso Sea - Jean Rhys

I need to give Frankenstein another read sometime. Maybe I will. There's too much to read that I haven't read that keeps me from doing rereads often.

1. Doomsday Book by Connie Willis
2. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
3. A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
4. Paradiso by Dante
5. Bartleby the Scrivener by Melville. Yeah, it's just a short story/novella, but it took up a night of reading, so here it goes.
