What books are you reading?

[EMBEE]

I'm now on the third Mandie book, Mandie and the Ghost Bandits.

I love the Mandie books!

[Over the Rainbow]

This Present Darkness. Fabulous novel.

[Marvin D.]

Last Light by Terri Blackstock.

[American Eagle]

I've been readings lots of books lately. Help! I'm a Small-Group Leader was okay, but not very useful unless you're a small group leader.

But I also read Bruchko: The Astonishing True Story of a 19-Year-Old American, His Capture by the Motilone Indians and His Adventures in Christianizing the Stone Age Tribe., which is so incredible. I fully recommend it.

Also finished Fatherhood by Bill Cosby. Wow; every joke used in this book was also used in The Cosby Show. The book has some poor philosophy (boys and girls are the same, men should have the same roles as women, etc.), but it's somewhat an interesting book. Not really recommended, especially if you've already seen the TV version.

I'm now reading Gifts Your Kids Can't Break by Steve and Annie Chapman.

[J-man]

Thunder of Heaven - Ted Dekker.

[Shennifer]

In this Mountain by Jan Karon

[Danielle Abigail Maxwell]

This Present Darkness. Fabulous novel.

I need to read that... after I finish AP Lit and HS though... lol.

[Laurie]

I have started A Case for Love by Kaye Dacus. It's an easy, fun contemporary romance.

[Sapphire]

I am in the middle of reading Peace Child by Don Richardson.

[Laurie]

A Flickering Light by Jane Kirkpatrick. It is a biographical novel based on the life of the author's grandmother. Very interesting, it talks about photography, how they did it at the turn of the century.

I finished Watership Down! Though I was already very familiar with the story beforehand (due to -- what else? -- an audio drama), the book gave it much more depth and detail, fleshed out some of the characters to a much more satisfactory level, and had action that was more nail-biting than I expected. Funny thing is that I had been pronouncing some of the characters' names in a British accent without knowing I was doing so (example: the name I thought was spelled "Keehaw" is actually spelled "Kehaar"). Two thumbs up!

I also finished an annotated edition of The U.S. of Eh, which was fun... even if I didn't know some of the pop culture references.

And now, I'm going to reread The Hobbit, with the goal of moving on to the Lord of the Rings trilogy (for the first time) in the near future!

[Catspaw]

Annotated editions are the best! Talk about fun, eh?

I'm reading "Kidnapped by River Rats" by Dave and Neta Jackson right now. It's part of their Trailblazer series, which takes fictional characters and places them in the world of a significant historical person, usually with a strong Christian connection. This book involves William and Catherine Booth, the founders of the Salvation Army. I've read it before, and it's quite interesting! I would recommed the whole series for anybody who enjoys learning while they read, not to mention anybody who enjoys a good story!

[Amethystic]

^^^I read that book in grade... two or three, I think. I used to love that series.

[KODY 105]

I read a number of that series when they were first coming out. Unfortunately, I didn't know what "river rats" were, and thought they were really rats. Something about animated films and evil cartoon rats...

But then the series got a little less like the first ten books, so I stopped buying them.

[Vlipvlop]

Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne. Much better than either of the movie versions.

[Anna><>]

The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom.

[Laurie]

I finished A Flickering Light by Jane Kirkpatrick, it was excellent!! I can't wait for the second book in the series. I am now starting Morning's Refrain by Tracie Peterson, it is the second book in her Song of Alaska trilogy, I've been waiting for this book since I read the first one.

[Shennifer]

I just started Shepherds Abiding this morning, and I think it'll be good. It's the eighth book in the Mitford series. And I just finished A Swiftly Tilting Planet last night; SUCH a good book.

[Over the Rainbow]

The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom.

I love and hate that book at the same time. It's so tragic but so wonderful how Gos used her.

Huckleberry Finn for school, although I was already intending to read it...eventually.

And...The Count of Monte Cristo. I can't put it down.

[Pseudonym]

I just finished The Pilgrim's Progress. Good book, but it was kinda stretched out at the end. Christian and Hopeful spend hours just discussing theology in a point-by-point manner. Sort of a bad way to end off the book considering it started out with battles against Apollyon and other near-death experiences. Maybe I was just getting tired of it at the end.


Anyway, just started A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking.
