What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. 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")

Last night I started Stepping Heavenward: One Woman's Journey to Godliness by Elizabeth Prentiss. A good friend lent it to me and I'm excited because (1) it's the first book I'm reading for leisure in a long time and (2) I think it will provide a strong biblical feminine example for me to follow.

That's a great book - it's been quite a while since I've read it, but I remember that it was a convicting and encouraging story. :)

A Distant Melody by Sarah Sundin. It's a new author, first in a series and the story is set during WWII. Very good so far. I'm not very far along since I have not had much time for reading this week.

The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens. It was a bit slow going at first, but now I'm quite enjoying it. :D

We own this book, but I haven't got around to reading it yet. Thanks for the recommendation. :D
