| Les Miserables, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (second time through), and I'm currently re-reading/analyzing A Raisin in the Sun and A Separate Peace. The significance of the latter is a bit fuzzy to me, because I read the last hundred or so pages while in somewhat of a trance...but anyways, that's what I'm reading.

| Is "A Raisin in the Sun" a good book? I've heard some people say that it's awesome, and some say that it is incredibly boring. Kinda scares me away... I keep thinking about "A Tale of Two Cities".
On topic, I am reading the following books:
"Miracles" by C. S. Lewis
"The Screwtape Letters" by C. S. Lewis
"To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee
"Your God Is Too Safe" by Mark Buchanan
"The Jesus I Never Knew" by Philip Yancey
"The Lotus and The Cross" by Ravi Zaccharias
Good stuff!

| Right now I'm making my way thorough C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy. I just finished Out of the Silent Planet and began Perelandra. It is quite good so far.

| I'm also reading The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity is next. I've been on a C.S. Lewis kick latley for some reason. I also plan to finish his space trilogy, as I enjoyed Out of the Silent Planet very much (I love SF of any kind).
I find reading at school is a little difficult, because there is just so much else going on. Like right now, I'm reading my English Comp. book for a paper I'm having to write.

Perelandra is best, in my opinion, but That Hideous Strength is very interesting as well. |
