Anal Pleasure and Health, by Jack Morin, Ph. D.
My therapist recommended it. Seems great for anyone to read if they have a butt, even if they have zero interest in the pleasure aspects the book discusses

The Gate to Women's Country by Sheri S. Teper
around 85% of the way through; it's homophobic, transphobic, arguably misandrist ... yet I'm having a hard time not enjoying a fantasy world where misogyny is subverted and eliminated ... call it a guilty pleasure.
(EDIT: finished the book last night, I liked it, but I probably wouldn't recommend it simply because it is so reactionary. Definitely wouldn't want people uncritically adopting similar views, lol.)

Finished The Truth of the Aleke by Moses Ose Utomi. Twistier and grimmer than the first book; hoping the third (when it comes out) will have a satisfying conclusion. One note: if you decide to read this one by itself, with the thought that you might read the rest of the series later, just be aware that it spoils the ending of the first book.
Started I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons by Peter S. Beagle. Light and fluffy fairy-tale-type story so far, without the melancholy undertones I remember The Last Unicorn (understandably) having. Reviews seem mixed about the second half, so we'll see how I feel about it when I get to that point!
