What's on YOUR reading list?

[Tragic Paradox]

Similar to the "what are you currently reading" thread, except instead of what you're reading now, post what you want to read in the future.

If anyone is like me, you have waaay too many books on your list...so I'll post just a couple at a time throughout the thread if it goes well. If you want to give a summary of the books or share why you want to read em, feel free.

I'll start.

Pursuit of Holiness - Jerry Bridges
The Shack - William P. Young

I just finished some brain candy...1632 by Eric Flint and Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison.

I brought these home from the library on Friday....

If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd be Republicans, Ann Coulter (OK...this one is still along the lines of brain candy...but it sure is a fun read!! I finished it today.)

Crunchy Cons: The New Conservative Counterculture and Its Return to Roots, by Rod Dreher (Turns out I might be a Crunchy Con! I'm on p. 169, and so far the only disagreement I have with him is over global warming. Dreher's been suckered on that one!)

Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution, by Michael J. Behe (A non-Christian scientist's difficulties with evolution. I'm actually re-reading this one...it has a new afterword rebutting criticisms of Behe's theory)

Functional Chordate Anatomy by Ronald G. Wolff (This one is to examine some claims that Behe makes)

The Assault on Reason, by Al Gore (One needs to stay informed on the Other Side.)

A Personal Odyssey, by Thomas Sowell (Personal reflection from a black conservative. I got more interesting in reading more from Sowell and Walter Williams after reading Clarence Thomas' autobiography a few months ago)

Classical Economics Reconsidered, by Thomas Sowell (see the above comment)

Collected Legal Papers by Oliver Wendell Holmes (I got interested in learning more about OWH after reading Liberal Fascism...which does not cast OWH in a good light)

John Marshall: Major Opinions and Other Writings, edited by John P. Roche (just curious about writings by the first Chief Justice)

I'm reading my way through a whole bunch of colonial/post- colonial novels:

Robinson Cruesoe, Foe, Things Fall Apart, Disgrace, Kim, The Road to India, A Fringe of Leaves, Oscar and Lucinda, Heart of Darkness, Wide Sargasso Sea and so on and so forth.

It's interesting stuff, mostly.

Some of the ones higher on my list are Something Rotten by Jasper Fforde, a couple of Barbara Kingsolver books (High Tide in Tuscon and Small Wonder), an Elizabeth Berg--I think it's The Art of Mending, but I'm not sure what it's called. And maybe a Donald Miller - Through Painted Deserts.
