Generally, these days I'm reading non-fiction books about ancient history, archaeology, mythology, psychology, religion, philosophy, and spirituality, so the books I note mostly fall in those categories.

Arthur George is a prizewinning author who retired from a 30-year career as an international lawyer in order to follow his bliss by studying and writing and speaking about mythology and related subjects in order to enhance our knowledge about myth, heighten the importance and role of myth in contemporary society, enrich people’s lives, and better our world. He is the author (with his wife Elena) of "The Mythology of Eden" (to be published May 2014), which is examines the biblical Eden story from the perspective of mythological studies, and is a frequent speaker at scholarly conferences and other events on mythological and related topics. He earlier authored (also with Elena) the definitive history of the city of St. Petersburg Russia ("St. Petersburg: The First Three Centuries"), which was awarded a literary prize by a jury of Russian scholars in 2005.
