*ahem* "was"?

Right, eh? nothing.... I've been really busy as always.... Anyways, I was in the middle of Tom Clancy's "The Bear and The Dragon" and "Shadows of the Empire", by Steve Perry for my third time.

Right now:
books: I try to read a little from the Bible about every day and I'm also reading The Thousand Orcs by R.A. Salvatore

manga: Rave Master vol. 01

It shifts to past tense because I have finished reading it. Were I reading it now I would say "is."

And cbwing0, I will definitely look up that second book. I have some athiestic friends who I frequently argue with on the subject, and this could be useful.

Finished Cannery Row last night. Now startingon Steinbeck's next novel, "Sweet Thursday." Also, I'm reading different essays Flannery O'Connor wrote, collected in a book called "Mystery and Manners" - and I think there is wonderful content for all the fiction writers out there. In addition to that, also Flannery O'Connor's short stories (it's an extensive class), and for Lit. class Luigi Pirandello's "Six characters in Search of an Author" -interesting so far. It's a play, but very existential and post-modern from as far as I've read.

Textbooks for school. |(b

Onto A Painted House by John Grisham. So far so good, but then again I'm not too far yet. Everyone I know says it's really good, so I'm readin it.

Yesterday I read a book named "Historical Criticism of the Bible Methodology and Ideology - Refections of a Bultmannian turned evangelical" By Eta Linnemann, and it was really intresting....

I've recently finnish The Shadow Risingby Robert Jorden. TSR is actually the fourth book of the Wheel of Time series. I am currently waiting to read The Fires of Heaven (bk 5 of WoT) untill I am done with the majority of my school work.

The Odyssey by Homer. The non-verse-form version. Surprisingly, it's relatively easy to read and really good, too.

Mattimeo

what's Mattimeo? well I'm reading the Bible and.............*thinks really hard* oh ya that's pretty much it.

It's one of the first books in the "Redwall" series. Think intelligent small animals with weapons. I've read most of it (the series), but grew disinterested. In my mind they're too similar.

I just read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (when I say "just read", I mean it-- short book). It was pretty good...

im reading,

The Bible NKJV Redletter
Cybershock
Visual Quickstart Guide to HTML, XHTML and CSS
Plato's Republic (just started please dont ask any questions )

I've never actually read CS Lewis's space trilogy, and I figured that I may as well. So on top of everything else I'm reading, I'm adding this. Ah well.

i tell ya i just couldnt get into the space trilogy

"Ameriika" by M.G. Vassanji at the moment, although I also want to get my hands on "Reading Lolita in Tehran".

the da vincicode code again and currently on psalms

"Jesus Saves" by Darcy Seinke

"..a suburban gothic that explores the sources of evil, confronts the dynamic shifts within theology, and traces the consequences of suburban alienation. Set in the modern launchpads of adolsecent ritual, the stripmalls and duplexes on the backside of suburbia, it's the story of two girls: Ginger, a troubled minister's daughter; and Sandy Patrick, who has been abducted from summer camp and now smiles from missing-child posters all over town."

I'm on the third book of CS Lewis's space trilogy, not enjoying it as much as the others. At the moment I'm only about half way compete, so I'll withhold judgement for a later date (and another thread).

I just started "Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview," by J.P. Moreland and William Lane Craig. As you might guess from the title, the book covers the basics of philosophy from a Christian perspective, including Logic, Epistemology, Metaphysics, etc.

finishing Redwall

3 days ago I read Francis Rivers - The Shoe Box. It's a really nice little story loved it... gave me tears in the end

If I'm ever in a suicidal mood, I will read Orthodoxy by an author I cannot remember. Probably an informative but terribly dull read. Then again, I doubt I will ever have that much time on my hands.

G.K. Chesterton maybe? He has a book by the same name (although the parts that I've read weren't dull).

I am reading a Map Of The World

Hm. I am inclined to say it is a different book, as I remember the author was one I was not familiar with. Then again, I might prefer to read Chesterton's, if you recommend it.

To dispell the myth that I don't read at all , I'm currently digging into Philip Yancey's "What's So Amazing about Grace?"
