What book are you reading?

_Rumors of Another World_ by Philip Yancey

I'm not in a book-reading mode these days, much. Last fiction was _I Am Charlotte Simmons_ by Wolfe. Last fiction that left me gasping for more was Kritzer's _Freedom's Apprentice_.

I'm reading a book about the Reformation. The title is "Reformation - Europe's House Divided 1490 - 1700". Written by Diarmaid MacCulloch. The book won the Wolfsen Prize for History 2004.
I have been reading this book during my lunch hour at work and I have not been disappointed with it so far (I'm a history buff so I may be biased!). It is not a Christian book per se but it is a evenhanded book. I would recommend it for Christians.

I just bought this book yesterday and started reading it. This seems like a good overview of the Reformation, which is what I was looking for. So far the histories I've read related to the Reformation have been focused on one particular aspect or person.

I'm also finishing up "John Winthrop: America's Forgotten Founding Father" by Francis Bremer, which is very good.

And I've recently purchased and begun "The Life and Times of Cotton Mather" by Kenneth Silverman.

Another book I've been reading recently is Augustine's "Confessions," which I started over a year ago, but never finished.

I just started trying to read "In His Steps" for the third or so time. Everytime I start, something comes up and I don't finish it. hoepfully, this time I can. I also like flipping through non-fiction books. Currently, flipping through "Kingdom of the Cults" ?? I think is the title. Interesting pieces about the "other" religions.

Christian living/Theological : I recently finished "Transforming Discipleship" by Greg Ogden. Next book : "The Normal Christian Life" by Watchman Nee.

Fiction : I recently finished "2010 : odyssey two" by Arthur C. Clarke. Next book : "Ender's Shadow" by Orson Scott Card.

Another book I've been reading recently is Augustine's "Confessions," which I started over a year ago, but never finished.

Same here. I bought a really old translation of Confessions and I just couldn't get through the english. Currently looking for a newer translation.

other than classes...
"a conspiracy of fools" it's a true-story written like a taught-drama about the players in the enron scandal.

I am reading lots of books right now because of classes, but the most influential and engaging one I am reading is called Love Your God With All Your Mind: The Role of Reason in the Life of the Soul by J.P. Moreland.

I am reading Little women by Louisa May Alcott
