What are you reading?

While I am reading The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury (Which I am really liking!) I am also reading Dare to Dream by John C. Maxwell. Seniors, like me, from our church who graduated this year received Dare to Dream as a gift from the youth pastors. It's pretty good, but Maxwell seems to quote from other people's works or other people rather than make many statements of his own. It's an interesting book promoting the dreaming of dreams and then doing what you need to, to make them come true. It's inspirational, I suppose, We'll see at the end how truly inspired I am.

I've been meaning to read Coraline for a while. Alas, I am currently reading The Redemption of Althalus. I have a friend who loves the Sandman series so Coraline definitely caught my eye.

Just finished Terry Pratchett's Mort.

Currently working on George Orwell's 1984 with Pratchett's Sourcery on the side.

1984 is a wonderful and disturbing book. I like Fahrenheit 451 quite a bit better.

[Technomancer]

I've just finished The Ape in the Tree: A Natural and Intellectual History of Proconsul; it's a great piece of science writing.

I have been reading significant portions of How to Read the Bible for All it's Worth by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stewert. This is actually for the research position I'm currently in because I'll need to condense some of their information in to a much smaller article. Though I enjoyed what I have read it is material a few levels lower than what I am currently studying, but I would urge anyone beginning to study the Bible seriously to at least look at it.

I've decided to re-read Shusaku Endo's Silence. Slow start so far from my side, but after that I'm tackling Crime and Punishment.

Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell.

Very... thought provoking. I love a good book that makes you think about the way you think about things. A great read for anyone out there who is already a "believer" and trying to figure out what it means to be a "disciple." Becoming a believer takes a decision that can be made in a moment. Becoming a disciple requires a lifetime of learning.

I've recently read Karl Barth's "The Church and the Churches" and "The Call of Discipleship" and found myself impressed by his insights. I don't agree with everything he says, but I think much of it is at least worth pondering.

Currently working my way through volume 1 of "The Ante-Nicene Fathers" and am going to start "The Meaning of Tradition" by Yves Congar, O.P.

[Eastkun]

I still need to finish the Last Battle. I would have finished by now, but I got off track.

[mitsuki lover]

I need some good easy light reading for summer.My mind wonders too much for me to concentrate on anything overly serious.

btw:It seems Hitler's name sells books.When I was at Barnes & Nobles I found two books that had Hitler in the title one was Women And Hitler about Hilter's love life
and the other was Hitler's Scientists.And several months back they had Hitler's
Renegades.

Proven Guilty, again.

An Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales

This book has been recommended to me before, most recently by a Priest who I have been used to seeing regularly for confession. So far in my reading, de Sales has been addressing the nature of devotion to God and the excellence of such a life. His writing and theological reasoning are both impressive.

[Linksquest]

A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury (originally Titled The Golden Apples of the Sun) Another great collection of short stories by the grandmaster of storytelling. I am really enjoying these stories.

[mitsuki lover]

I read some out of Bullfinch's Mythology:The Age of Fables today.

[TurkishMonky]

[chimera189]

Just finished book three of the Legend of Drizzt, starting on The Crystal Shard tomorrow

[Arnobius]

Finished several books including those mentioned earlier and CS Lewis' "The Great Divorce" and Pope Benedict XVI's Christianity and the Crisis of Cultures. Trying to work my way through St Anselm's "Basic Writings" and start Jaroslav Pelikan's "The Christian Tradition Volume 1"

Rereading Frank Herbert's Dune. Such a good book.

[Phantom_Sorano]

Just finished Candide by Voltaire.....I don't recommend it....it was horrid and utterly distasteful!

[Rachel]

The Client by John Grisham. It's really good.

[Htom Sirveaux]

The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three. I've discovered lately that I get through books quicker if I only read one at a time. Gee, who'd have thought it?

[the_lizardqueen]

Rereading Frank Herbert's Dune. Such a good book.

Really? Coolness! I bought that one at a book fair a couple of weeks back. I should probably have a go at it once I've finished Equal Rites (yet another Discworld book)

[mitsuki lover]

I tried reading Dune when I was in high school,it was tough going for me.

[Kumagoro]

The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love. It's a really funny book about women in the South putting on potato parades. It's based on true events, and the author uses the pseudonym "Tammy" for all the girls. It's a laugh riot!
