I was walking past our bookshelves on the way to bed last night, noticed a set of bokks, and had a 'V8' momemnt. Slapped my forehead and thought, "How could I have forgotten to mention the Hornblower series?!" Written by CS Forester.

I like to occasionally take a break and read a good novel. But it's so incredibly hard to find any good fiction that's worth bothering with. Any recommendations?
I heard someone interviewed the other day and he mentioned how much in this book is coming true - made me think I need to re-read it as it's been forever. Anyhow. . . .
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

Show me a man who trusts his own righteousness, obedience, devotion, feelings, or anything else of his own, and I will show you a man to whom the blood and righteousness of Christ is worthless. Don Fortner
It often surprises people to learn that God is not always pleased when people worship him. We might be inclined to think that God should be thankful for any attention we give him out of our busy schedules. But worship is not about God's thanking us; it is about our thanking him. And God is not pleased with just anything we choose to do in his presence. The mighty Lord of heaven and earth demands that our worship-indeed, all of life-be governed by his word.
John M. Frame
The Bible will give Christ to you in an intimacy so close that he would be less visible to you if he stood before your eyes.

Mine too. My wife and I can really tear through some books.
