Anyone want to recommend books for me to read once I'm done with ranking my finalists for Mythopoeic? Here are the rules.
1. Limit of one recommendation per person.
2. No modern fantasy (which I'm defining, for these purposes only, as anything from the 20th century or later). Fantasy is what I don't screen out. Hard sf, mystery, general fiction, and non-fiction are all fine.
3. I'm not promising to read it all. Just so you know.

You might like _Color: a Natural History of the Palette_ by Victoria Finday--I've only read the first chapter (on ochre) so far, but it's your standard modern non-fiction, lively and full of cool facts.
