walked from the Pacific Northwest to New York City with her eldest daugther in order to earn a $10,000 wager.She did to help to pay the mortgage on the family
farm.Very interesting.

The Book of Elves and Fairies and Antoine de Saint Exupery's The Little Prince. Light reading to celebrate the end of the school year.

[JediSonic]

I'm reading Angels & Demons, the prequel to The Da Vinci Code which I've never read, for a book discussion group. It's well written fiction, but I'm appalled by its disrespect and/or outright lies about christianity and Catholocism in particular.

[Namelessknight]

Am in the middle of the EarthSea trilogy by Le Guin. Going thru "The Tombs of Atuan" right now...

[ally-san]

im also reading arthur millers death of a salesman

[Technomancer]

"Dark Age Ahead" by Jane Jacobs. So far it has some interesting thoughts, but needs better focus.

[Hephzibah]

Thunder of Heaven by Ted Dekker... intruiging so far I think I'm up to the 2nd chapter

[EvilSporkofDoom]

Candide by Voltaire

[Liger'smane]

I'm just about to start, "The Renegades of Pern" by Anne McCaffery.

[Technomancer]

"Codex" by Lev Grossman

"Ethos of the Cosmos: The Genesis of Moral Imagination in the Bible" by William P. Brown

this work by William Brown investigates how the various pictures of creation found in Scripture helped shape the ancient faith community's moral character. Bridging the fields of biblical studies and ethics, this interdisciplinary work demonstrates how certain creation traditions of the Old and New Testaments were developed from the community's moral imagination for the purpose of forming and preserving both Israel's and the early church's identity in the world. Bringing to light insights largely overlooked by modern treatments of biblical ethics and creation, The Ethos of the Cosmos ends by recommending the formative power of creation for the contemporary church.

I just started on Cry the Beloved Country

[Kaori]

The Sword and the Mind, translated by Hiroaki Sato. The book comprises some texts on the Shinkage school of swordsmanship, but they deal more with the philosophical ideas behind the school than with the actual techniques of swordsmanship.

A Concise History of Buddhism, by Andrew Skilton. I am only partway through the book, and so far it has no egregious flaws. There is also, however, nothing that makes the book particularly good.

I also read through significant portions of Strunk and White's Elements of Style. It covers only a few basic rules of grammar, but it is concise, helpful, and often witty; I would recommend it to anyone who writes.

[kirakira]

'The Count of Monte Cristo' by Alexandre Dumas.

[Ingemar]

I am supposed to be reading Discipline and Punish by Michel Foucault, but I am currently fretting over an essay about Notes from Underground by Dostoevsky.

Also, I finished

The Trial--Franz Kafka
The Flies--Jean Paul Sartre

[Hephzibah]

'The Count of Monte Cristo' by Alexandre Dumas.

Ooo! is that any good? I've seen the movie (with Jim Caveziel [sp?]) and I really enjoyed it.

Anyway, I have finished Thunder of Heaven (by Ted Dekker), so now I dont really have much to read except for How to Draw Shoujo

[Namelessknight]

I loved CMC. But then, I really like Dumas's stuff.

Myself, I just finished up Tombs of Atuan by Le Guin and am in the middle of the 3rd book-The Farthest Shore.

[Ssjjvash]

Now I'm reading Red by Ted Dekker. I finally got a hold of a copy!
And I'm also reading Joyce Meyer's Approval Addiction

[Kaori]

Dragon's Milk, by Susan Fletcher.

Notations: Quotations on Music, ed. Sallye Leventhal, a book I felt obliged to read because my parents bought it for me.

The Road to Madness: Tales of H. P. Lovecraft.

Various poems by T.S. Eliot from The Complete Poems and Plays, 1909-1950. Of the ones I have been reading, "Ash Wednesday" is by far my favorite; in my opinion, it is one of his better post-conversion works.

I have also read several American comics in the past week or so.

[pyro_moogle]

I am Reading Sahara by Clive Cussler.

[Technomancer]

"Kafka on the Shore" by Haruki Murakami

[Mithrandir]

I'm just starting "Motorola V220 - The Manual."


Seriously, this thing is bigger than some of the novels I've readd...

[Namelessknight]

yeah, scary isn't it?

I just finished up Tehanu, by Le Guin. Finishes up the story of Ged and Tennar, but very unsatisfactory. Uses way too much mumbo jumbo and contradictory statements covering as wisdom, bleh...

[the_lizardqueen]

I'm rereading Jane Eyre at the moment, it's one of my all times faves.

Yay for gothic settings and imperfect, funny looking people in love!

[Mithrandir]

Hacknotes - Network Security

[mitsuki lover]

Nothing right at the moment.I'm taking a break really.Still pondering what to read next.I might read WYATT EARP except:1)the print seems a bit small and
2)my relatives back in Colonial Virginia were neighbors and friends of the Clantons.

It is good to see that I am not the only one who feels this way]Tehanu.[/I]

I just read through Devoutly I Adore Thee, a collection of prayers and hymns by Thomas Aquinas. It is a quick read, but there are some truly lovely prayers in it. Also, the edition I read has the Latin and the English translation printed side-by-side, which would have been interesting if I actually knew any Latin.

[uc pseudonym]

Was the last title of the Earthsea series Tehanu? I thought I had read all of it, but I do not believe I read any book with that name.
