We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I finished A Shadow of Freedom by Tricia Goyer, excellent book as hers always are. I am starting the third, and sadly final book of the series: A Whisper of Freedom.

I'm rereading The Hobbit. It's quite good!

Moby-Dick. *gags*
The only other school book I ever hated was The Red Badge of Courage.
...I hate marquees.

Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain--which is interesting.
And Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach for school--which is quite weird. Definitely not from a Christian worldview!

Let Justice Roll Down by John Perkins - really good so far.
Hamlet by Shakespeare - boring in the beginning, but Shakespeare is usualy interesting.

There is a God by Antony Flew.
Very interesting... although it's a wee bit too intelligent for someone like me.

Don Quixote. It's hilarious.
Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said, 'goodbye.' And you were like, 'no, wait.' And then I was all, 'we pretended we were going to murder you.' That was great...
