maribouThe Other Side of the Altar, by Paul Dinter
This is one ex-priest's perspective on the issues of the priesthood today, particularly with regards to sexuality. Very interesting; neither dry nor sensationalist.

Persepolis 2: The Return, by Marjane Satrapi
I liked this graphic-novel-Iranian-autobiography as much as I liked its prequel, but sometimes for different reasons. Pretty and eloquent; a quick but deep read.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, by Mark Haddon
The fictional narrator of this coming-of-age story is autistic. Everyone says it's funny but I didn't laugh much. However, I loved this book. Really unusual, one of my favorite novels of the year.

Sunshine, by Robin McKinley
This book is funny and sexy and smart and full of enchantment. And the character development was lovely. The eponymous protagonist is a baker in a world that's altered from our own in blatant and subtle ways.

Roma Eterna, by Robert Silverberg
Linked alternate-history short stories: what if the whole thing never happened, ergo Christianity never happened, and the Roman empire persisted? Some of these stories were markedly more fleshed-out than others, and it sometimes felt more like an intellectual exercise than anything else, but still very enjoyable. I always forget how much I like Robert Silverberg. The man knows how to turn a phrase.

Dr Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation, by Olivia Judson
Olivia Judson is a hoot. And well-researched, well-cited, well-presented hoot to boot. As a sometime biologist, I highly recommend this book.
