Books

I've actually got pretty good at setting aside my usual preferences to just grab something new and random. It's worked pretty well so far and I've discovered and read things I never would have otherwise. Usually I just browse the shelves and pick stuff out that stands out for one reason or another. Also, if your library is like mine they have 'grab bags' where you can request a librarian to put together a random assortment of stuff. Right now I'm reading 'Audition with a Fox', about a girl undergoing a religious training under the tutelage of the fox trickster god and the other book is 'The Anubis Gates' set in 1900 Egypt and dealing with Egyptian occult beliefs and time travel. Both things I wouldn't have typically picked up...well Anubis Gates probably but the Audition with the Fox book not likely.
