Also try any of Stephen Lawhead's books. He is a Christian writer, he writes Historical Fiction (ie about the crusades), and a series about King Arthur mixed with Atlantis. A really awesome author. |

Dream Thief and the Empyrion series are really good.
I'm currently reading Airframe by Micheal Chrichton and A Fine and Pleasant Misery by Patrick F. McManus.

#183 | | !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | I am slowly reading "Nine Stories" by JD Salinger (Much different than Catcher In the Rye, hardly any language). I am also reading "the Moon Is Down" by John Steinbeck, it's very good.

Aww really? I enjoy reading the Canterbury Tales. I had to do my humongo research paper on Chaucer. But, I have not read all of them...that might get tiring. Are you reading them in the old english? (For your sake, I certainly hope you aren't...aaaaahhh!!!  )
Well I finished reading Esther, and I Corinthians. Next I'm gona tackle II Corinthians.
And I'm still reading Mere Christianity...and I'm enjoying it immensely!!!

#185 | | Cool enough Administrator | Recently finished The Indwelling... Dang they are leaving me out to dry way too many times... About to start Calvary Chapel Distinctives by Chuck Smith, which I think is a good book to read even if you don't go to Calvary Chapel. |

| Just finished The HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy. I'm gonna goto the library today to get The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, which is the sequel. It's a sci-fi book, but it's hilarious. The author is British, and if you like Monty Python, it fits right in, the sense of humor that is.

| I'm reading "The Other Boleyn Girl", which is about Mary Boleyn, Anne Boleyn's sister. It's cool.  It's by Philippa Gregory.

I haven't even checked out this thread lately. I haven't been reading.  Textbook & Bible, of course, but beyond that...
Mind, today I picked up Armageddon by Leon Uris. Took a chunk out of it...
