Following after [livejournal.com profile] saskia139, whose interesting list of interests includes theosis:

Scan my interest list and pick out the one that seems the most odd to you -- either because you don't know what it is or because you don't know why I would be interested in such a thing. And I'll try to explain myself...

And I'll add my own twist: when you post this in your own journal, include the interest you selected for the person in whose journal you found this.

She is the author of Enchantress from the Stars, the first science fiction book I ever read, and the story of one of my favorite heroines. Its sequel, The Far Side of Evil, is also good, and she has a trilogy now published as an omnibus called The Children of the Star which is a character-driven story which is also lovely meditation on religious truth and symbol. To fully appreciate the third book, it helps to have read either Enchantress or Far Side because her worlds overlap.

The books were originally marketed as young adult novels, but after Enchantress they really speak to the concerns of adults. And even Enchantress remains delightful. I think you would enjoy the Star trilogy.
