What book are you reading at the moment?

I don't generally read one book at a time. Way too boring.

I go for that something or other.

Haw, that has to be one of my OCD opportunity cost nightmares.

ohhhhhh how is it?
I read like 4 or 5 of those "Series of Unfortunate Events" books when I was a teen
they were cool but I was a little too old for them
wish they came out like 3 years earlier

I read them as an adult.
I didn't like every single book in the series but that author amuses me greatly. I'm more into juvenile fiction than in "adult" fiction anyway.
The book im reading now is the first in a new series. I like it because it is still the same target audience as series of unfortunate events. Where as another book he wrote which was targeted for teens was kinda boring and stupid in my opinion - plus it wasn't with Snicket as narrator so perhaps it changed the tone too much.
I guess its kinda like how JK Rowling is incapable of writing an interesting adult fiction book while she wrote pretty good for kids.

The thing about Lemony Snicket books isnt the story (or the characters) its the writing style. I appreciate the wit and references and other things.

I don't read much but while I'm abroad I'll start reading Timothy Keller - The Prodigal God.

I am about to conquer Pink's Sovereignty of God!!! ha ha ha ha! I usually tear through books but I got bogged down around chapter 6 and then I put it down for awhile before picking it up again.

Hello, Timothy Keller!!! I will be starting his book on Prayer soon.

The book I'm reading at the moment is one I started reading a long time ago. For some reason I laid it aside while reading other books, but now I'm surely going to finish it. It's quite interesting, but then again I'm a huge fan of history books.

The Sumerians - Their History, Culture, and Character
by Samuel Noah Kramer

I finally finished Pink's book "The Sovereignty of God"!!!! Yea!! I am hoping to start this book next week.

Review: The Canaanites weren’t the “worst sinners ever”: engaging Copan and Flannagan on Canaanite extermination
January 26, 2015 by Peter Enns http://www.amazon.com/Did-God-Reall...-fkmr3&keywords=did+god+really+order+genocide
Excerpt..."First, I am very glad to see the authors make a point that needs to be made over and over again, namely describing the biblical accounts of the Canaanite extermination as “hagiographic hyperbole” (a term borrowed from another philosopher, Nicolas Wolterstorff)."The basic idea is that the accounts of Israel’s early battles in Canaan are narrated in a particular style, which is not intended to be literal in all of its details and contains a lot of hyperbole, formulaic language and literary expressions for rhetorical effect. We argue in our book that the evidence both from within the Bible and from other ancient Near Eastern conquest accounts supports this conclusion.”
