Entertainment Weekly categorized this book as satire, but I'm not so sure. Some of it, but for the most part, I found it delightful and engaging journey through today's online spiritual and lifestyle marketing world. It was particularly wonderful to follow along with Lillian's growing auric abilities and how she experienced them and came to terms with them and her own being.

Slow reader. Picky reader. Categories include: History of Religions, Spirituality, Fantasy and Science Fiction, Historical Fiction. For example, Neil Gaiman, but not Terry Pratchett (I do love Good Omens); have never read Lord of the Rings all the way through; Lovecraft, but not Stephen King. Other authors I tend to enjoy: Neil Stephenson, Jeanette Winterson, Richard Powers, and I'm running out of time this evening, so come back later ;-)
