The Women of Trachis
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007by Sophocles translated by Michael Jameson Once again I have trouble relating to Sophocles' characters because I'm not all "Suicide rocks!"...
Seven Seasons of the Man in the Mirror
Friday, December 7th, 2007by Patrick Morley This book doesn't fall to the temptation of preaching a prosperity gospel. He always brings it back to God's plan, and doesn't pretend that that is "whatever you think is best."

The Twilight of Atheism

Thursday, October 11th, 2007and Other Stories by C.S. Lewis Some good stories here... Too bad the best ones are unfinished.
for women only
Saturday, October 6th, 2007by Shaunti Feldhahn A friend of mine, who is married, read the book for men only while his wife read this one. He said that his book wasn't any good, but his wife recommended this one. It isn't too bad. I do have to say, though, that a good number of ...
The Entrepreneurial Vocation
Saturday, October 6th, 2007by Robert A. Sirico I got this for free from The Acton Institute. It is a response to both Liberation Theology, and the Health and Wealth Gospel (or Dominion Theology)... It is very short, but it does include insightful commentary on Matthew 25's parable of the talents.
The Ultimate Hitchikers Guide
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007by Douglas Adams I made an audiobook of the first book (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) for my grandmother earlier this year. She was able to listen to all but the last chapter before she passed away. I think she really liked it.
God’s Word translation of the New Testament
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007I will probably come back and read this version's Old Testament... I like what they did with getting rid of "Christianese" jargon... I hope to get through the whole bible again once more this year... We will see what happens.
The Daily Bible
Thursday, August 30th, 2007In Chronological Order 365 Daily Readings (Commentary by F. LaGard Smith) It's pretty neat to get the bible all shuffled together so that you see the chronological order of events (like Kings and Chronicles or the 4 Gospels or the Narrative of the OT with the prophesy interspersed in the correct times...)
The Sonnets
Thursday, August 30th, 2007by William Shakespeare (the book is actually called "The Sonnets and Narrative poems" but the narrative poems aren't going to get read any time soon...) This is part of my ongoing effort to begin appreciating poetry more. Some of the sonnets are alright. I think my poetry like-er is broken...
Every Woman’s Desire
Saturday, July 21st, 2007by Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker with Mike Yorkey This book makes a bunch of really good points. It has helped me with understanding how to respond when faced with things people (not just women) do that don't make sense :D... Some of the examples (This book is a topic, example, topic, ...
Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Saturday, July 21st, 2007by Douglas Adams I actually finished this about 3 days ago... Good book.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Vol. 2
Sunday, July 15th, 2007by Lo Kuan-chung I recommend getting this book from a different publisher than Tuttle... The second volume had a noticeable number of typos in my version... Especially in the middle of the second volume... I'll change my bookshelf picture when I get back to NC...
The Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins
Monday, June 25th, 20074th edition ed. W.H. Gardner and N.H. MacKenzie I didn't read any of the foreign language poems, but I gotta say that I liked a greater percentage of his translated poems than his originals.
Table Talk
Thursday, June 21st, 2007by Martin Luther collected by: who knows Some pretty good stuff... Luther was rather, confident. They didn't leave out any (or at least all) of the "crazy" stuff he said...
