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
