Right now I'm reading Joel Rosenberg's EpiCenter, about how the prophesies in the Book of Ezekiel in the Bible are coming true in the Middle East. I'm also reading his End Times fiction series, currently on book #2, The Last Days. My kids have added several books to my pile that they like and want me to read, and I also intend to read the Preparing Your Son/Daughter for Every Young Man's/Woman's Battle series. That and whatever strikes my fancy at the library! Carolyn’s last blog post..A Week Alone

I recently finished Designated Daughter, which I highly recommend to all daughters & even sons. Mothers should read it, too.
I’m almost finished reading Lucky Man, Michael J. Fox’s memoirs. Did you know that his middle name doesn’t actually begin with J?

I am reading the Tightwad Gazette. It’s a classic and I recommend it.

Here are my recommendations:

Strictly for fun:

“The Book of Hours” by T. Davis Bunn (Fiction) Also anything by Bunn
“The Secret Lives of Bees” (Fiction)
“Animal, Vegetable, Miracle A Year of Food Life” by Barbara Kingsolver

Educational:
“Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin
“Eternity in Their Hearts The Untold Story of Christianity Among Folk Religions of Ancient People” by Don Richardson (probably not in the public libray but I have a copy you can borrow)

Heavy theology:
“Satan and the Problem of Evil” by Gregory A Boyd

Thought provoking:
“The Shack” by William Young (I recommend this book but it was not easy for me to read. It deals with the problem of evil in a allegorical way that some Christians find challenging. Though the story is fiction it is real enough to be uncomfortable. Still I recommend it.)

I am currently reading the “Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming” which is very interesting. I have a couple more books from the Politically Incorrect Guide series that I plan on reading this summer as well as some fun fiction. I’m also reading “Animal Vegetable Miracle” by Barbara Kinsolver and “White Rose” by Amy Ephron. My husband and I have a contest to see who can read more books each year. It’s a fun competition, plus it expands our knowledge and acts as cheap (or free) entertainment.

Happy Reading!

too many to list, but I have a goal of reading two books a week. One for information (like on parenting, budgeting, etc) and one for pleasure. Boudaries is one on my for info. list This way by summer's end I will have read 24 books. I read fast so it is doable, if I forgo the evening tv time. Which will be so much more beneficial anyway.

I have over 100 books that I have picked up at book sales and the local flea market the last couple of years for about $35 total. (Love those $2 for a bag sales!) Next up on the list is Tom Brokaw’s Greatest Generation. Then the first of the Riverworld books by Philip Jose Farmer. I haven’t decided beyond that as it will depend on my mood and whatever else I pick up – more book sales coming up soon to add to the collection!
