Reading is sexy!
(Title line compliments of Melody for that hilarious logo t-shirt you found!)
Today is just one of those days where I would rather be lounging poolside with 2 books I'd like to finish. So, I made a list of books I've been wanting to read. Maybe I should coordinate a read-a-thon?!? In no particular reading order:
Searching for God Knows What--Donald Miller
Mark of the Lion Series
The Bell Witch
Chronicles of Narnia --CS Lewis (preferably by the time the movie releases, but I know my reading track record!)
Skinny Legs and All -- Tom Robbins
Dress Your Family In Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
The Scarlet Letter (because I haven't read since 9th grade)
Silas Marner (because I haven't read since 7th grade)
East of Eden --Steinbeck
Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde
My Year of Meats --Ruth Ozecki
Speaking with the Angel and A Long Way Down --Nick Hornby
A Case for Christ
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 & 3 --Anne Brashears (yes, I'm a cheeseball!)
a Jane Austen novel (prompted by recent visit to England, of course!)
And I'm pretty sure this list will change faster than Harry Potter can apparate!

I've read HP 6 and the Broker. HP6 is good..the Broker is pretty good, but not my favorite Grisham novel.
Case for Christ is fascinating and I highly recommend it.
Silas Marner--a lot of the kids in my Sunday School class are reading it for their summer reading list...once they find out I read back in the high school days, they try to get me to tell them what happened. I keep telling them--you gotta read it...LOL. Not that it's a favorite of mine, mind you.
I love the reading list..I made a summer reading list to start the summer and I bet I haven't read half of the books on it as, like you, my pile of to be read changes weekly. LOL
hey, michael, hit me with your list!
michelle, i borrowed lb's Redeeming Love book 2 years ago and i'm still not finished with it! oops..maybe I should add that to my list! hee
Blue Like Jazz looks good, too, and especially since I read the last paragraph at the church supper last night!
Yeah, you HAVE to finish Redeeming Love...I can't believe it's taken even you this long. ;-) Michelle, I read Mark of the Lion series in 3 days...I LOVE it, and no, Vick, you can't borrow them cause goodness knows when I'd ever see them again...Now go READ!!
ok, finished or not (and hopefully finished!), Redeeming Love will be returned by 11/25/05! Happy 20-10!
Mental note: Siddhartha by Herman Hesse.
Let me just throw in another great contemporary Christian writer...Robert Whitlow. His first five books are Christian legal thrillers and were quite the page-turners for me. I've got his new one..but alas, it's on a huge stack of books that seem to multiply when I'm not looking.
