I am very excited to be reading again. I read few books this summer and nothing that was challenging. This fall, just in time for back to school, I am challenging myself to learn something. I have some thoughts on educating myself, what excites me about learning, and my goals for education. All will be posted another day.
For today, here’s what is on my nighstand, er, coffee table.
It’s a huge pile of books and there is no way I will complete them all before they are due back at the library. Some of them are my husband’s books and others are reference material. For instance, I borrowed a chronological study Bible just to see what it’s like. At first glance, I love it. If I still like it after reading a bit, I’m going to purchase one.
Top priority books:
Lies Women Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free – I’ve seen this one highly recommended around the blogsphere and thought it was worth checking out.
The Jesus You Can’t Ignore: What You Must Learn from the Bold Confrontations of Christ – I received this as a review copy and need to finish reading it this weekend.
Love & Respect – Another book that was highly recommended to me. So far I keep saying “yes, yes, I do that.” But I’m almost half way through the book and I want to know what I’m supposed to do about it. More later.
The Well-Educated Mind – I’ve actually finished reading this book but I marked a few spots where I need to go back and take notes. I need to finish up quickly, as it’s a very popular book at my library and I’m sure I won’t be able to renew it.
Canterbury Tales – My husband keeps challenging me to read a classic, so I asked him to pick one out for me. I’ve never read Chaucer, so I’ll be interested to see how I do with this massive piece of literature.
What are you reading this month?
