Reading List 2006
I've got a huge pile of books on my nightstand to read in 2006. I'm working my way through them, and the following is an update:
Planned
- A Movable Feast - Ernest Hemmingway
- Understanding How Others Misunderstand You - Ken Voges
- John Piper: The Pleasures of God
- Roman Catholicism - Evangelical Protestants Analyze What Divides and Unites.
- The Confessions of St. Augustine - St. Augustine
Started
- John Steinbeck: Tortilla Flat (good so far)
- The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning
Ongoing
- Charting a Bold Course - Training Leaders for 21st Century Ministry by Andrew Seidel
Complete
- The Street lawyer - John Grisham - (Amazing, especially in light of the Forty Days of Mercy we just held. Fantastic.)
- The Book of the Duncow - Walter Wangerin Jr. - (Excellent! I really loved this book, but it took me 103 pages to start to 'get into' it. Then I couldn't put it down.)
- Timothy Findley: The Wars (really interesting beginning, though slow reading - Ultimately I hated this book. Where was it going? I think you have to study it in English class to -- to even care.)
- Invitation: The Search for God, Self, and Church: A Catholic Learning Guide for Adults (Did this in catechism class)
- The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown (pretty dull-- what's the fuss?)
- Choose the Life - Exploring a Faith that Embraces Discipleship (Really quite good, which suprised me)
- The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis (AMAZING)
- A Touch of Mortality - Ann Granger (Pretty bad, actually)
- Florian's Gate - (Great start, real mystery, sort of boring ending.)
- The Devil's Feather - Minette Walters (Such a page-turner!! I LOVE IT, and will read more from this author)
- The Scold's Bridle - Minette Walters (Fabulous! Loved it, and read it in 2 days.)
- Zane Grey: Riders of the Purple Sage
- My Utmost for His Highest – A chapter a day for a year
