I want to be reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy

 

[TeutonKnight]

I start my new term on Monday and ave not got the book list yet. Last year I had to deal with Karl Barths Credo and Joseph Ratzingers introduction to Christianity.

One of my courses this year is Christian Doctrine and Pratice so one will always have a Theological Dictionary handy.

 

[Thunder Peel]

Besides the Bible I'm reading Journey to the Center of the Earth. There's nothing like re-visiting an old favorite.

I started reading Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox by Eoin Colfer today... and I finished it today. (391 pages) I suppose it exceeded my expectations.

I also started reading the Aeneid by Vergil for my Humanities class... but I only read about 9 pages so far.

I'm in 2 Kings right now in my bible.

I want to be reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy

I have now gotten a hundred pages into it. It really does remind me alot of watching "No Country for Old Men" and it will be intresting to see the movie to the book. The book is about the love between a father and his son in the absolutely worst possible background that can be imagined - basically a hell on Earth in which the man's wife commited suicide because she hated it so much and the boy wishes to die as well, while the people that share the world with them would murder them - given the opportunity - in order to eat them. Is it immoral for the deprivity or moral for the love that we get to see within it? Hard to tell.

But it is easy to see why Cormac is considered one of the best writers of our time.

 

[Religious Crisis]

How Starbucks Saved My Life. Great book so far.

 

[AFallingStar]

[dragonfruit29]

For fun, I'm currently reading The Last Boleyn by Karen Harper. It's rather interesting, so far.

For classes, I'm currently reading way too much! Right now I've got readings for Literacy, for Special Education, for Science Content and Methods, and for Classroom Management. Grad school sure has me reading a lot!

 

[kittysbecute]

I'm finishing up reading the Aeneid by Virgil (I'm in the last chapter) and I'm going to start reading Confessions by Saint Augustine probably today. Both of them are for my Humanities class.

 

[Bill_monkey]

Finished the Road.

If you have issues with reading violence then DO NOT READ.

Having said that, it was a very good book. It dragged on in the last hundred pages, but it has a great ending (in a subtle way) and it maintains the human dignity of its characters in the most trying of conditions. I would read it before Empire Falls, March or Oscar Wao.

Currently reading American Pastoral by Philip Roth (best American auther in the last 25 yrs?). I want to read the Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon.

 

[searchingsoul]

I'm currently reading The Lion, the Which and the Wardrobe.

 

[Caton]

[GujuNilesh]

Caton good luck with the accounting book. My accounting book sucked!! lol it was more boring then reading the chronicles jk!! lol

currently im reading deutronomy in OT (in the mornin) and John in NT(at nite)
Plus tons of reading for school. With that I am just starting to pick up the book called The Journey by Billy Graham looks to be a good read.

But I was wondering can you guess recommend an enjoyable book to read preferably a fiction. Lol for the past few months I have just been reading to learn and I just want to pick up a book that I can enjoy. u kno?

btw, best book I have ever ever read so far is called God Secret Agent by Sammy Tippit. It is a bio of Sammy Tippit an evangelist that evangelized in Romania when there was communism and how he went inside Romania and preached the word of God and the struggles and adventures in his life that led him through all of that. Its just an amazing book that I recommend everyone should read.
