Books I'm Reading

I am currently reading 3 new books all at the same time. I never really read a book for fun until after I graduated college. In school I rarely read the books I was supposed to in class and I always managed to avoid reading textbooks. I never even knew that reading could be fun until I started reading after college. The Left Behind series and the Narnia series got me going and turned me into a reading machine. I feel smarter when I read. My vocabulary is better, my writing is better, my thinking is clearer. I'm not sure what it is, but I just feel better when I am reading. I often go through periods of time where I'm not reading and I quickly realize that my eyes and mind have to be re-trained in reading. Starting is the hardest part, but once I start, there is no stopping me.

I am currently reading the following.

Bury My Heart in Wounded Knee - Dee Brown



Its no secret that I am obsessed with Indians as noted in this previous post. Unlike when I was in school, I am now fascinated with history, at least the parts of history that I am interested in. Marcus Mumford recommended this book to me. This is the book that I read on my lunch break.



Green - Ted Dekker




I'm a huge Dekker fan. He is getting a little crazy with tying all characters from all books together all the time, but I still love it. This is supposed to be the Pr equal/Sequel to the Circle Series. This is the book I read at night at home.


A Paddling of Ducks - Marjorie Blain Parker / Illustrated by Joseph Kelly




I first found out about this book when Lydia brought it home from the Library. The illustrations are top notch. I love the idea of the book. Sure enough I got it as a gift at Christmas. Now I read it every couple days to Lydia or even by myself.


Bottom Line - Having fun isn't hard, when you have a library card
