Reading and more reading.
September 11, 2006 – 12:05 pmOk I finished some books and really want to chat about them.
Book No. 1 The Messanger: By Louis Lowery,
Loved this book and read the two before it. All ready to read them again. I was shocked how much I got into these books. I don’t love sci-fi and I am not really one to get all exctied about young adult fiction.
Book No. 2 Mere Christianity:C.S. Lewis
Growing up in the LDS religion has been an awesome experience. Reading the "basics" as it were for Christianity has been a total eye opener. I have been so nieve about the differences between my own religion and those of other faiths. I am shocked how simualr and how different we really are.
Book No. 3. Vanity Fair
—- um not done yet. However the first thirteen chapter have got me hooked. I am finding the author pretty darn hilarious. Some people I have read struggled through the first parts I am looking forward to see what the middle chunk has in store for me.
Book No. 4 Isaiah: you know like in the Bible.
Yeah this is a thick and meaty thing for me to take on. I am pretty much loving the fact he is a literary genuis in his writing. I am going to admitt here that my reading of the old testiment is not what I would like it to be. I am repenting and diving into one of the most amazing books I think the Bible has.
Is anyone reading anything I should pick up?? My plea comes from not being enrolled in Fall classes this year. I am thinking it is best to not sign up for school until I have my normal brain back. Even with my normal brain I am only at half capacity captain! In other words, I am not ready for the "911 commission report" yet, but any other suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I love anything by Lois Lowry! One of my favorite authors ever.

Well, you know I’m a reader. So if you want a list, I can provide.
I loved “The Secret Life of Bees” and of course, one of my all time favorite books is “The Mists of Avalon”. “Pride and Prejudice” IS the favorite, but I believe you have read that. I have many, many more!

way to go with all the reading! And something on Isaih, you brave girl you. Have you read Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis? I liked it a lot.

It just struck me my favorites for theology and Christian living are all deceased authors. Hmm, weird.. Watchman Nee, A.W. Tozer, and Clive Staples Lewis. (If you were named Clive Staples, you’d go by C.S. too.)
I’m reading Donald Miller, “To Own A Dragon: Reflections on Growing Up Without a Father”…I recommend this to ANYONE who has or mentors boys. Fabulous read.
My book collection is here at Listal
I LOVE TO read.

I, too, love Lowry and Lewis. If you haven’t read Screwtape Letters you may want to strongly consider it. I just started reading ‘The Thirteenth Tale’ which promises to be awesome.
Love the looks of your blog - so tranquil and serene.
