    Re: What are you currently reading?

    I'm most into (Page 180 out of 214) "How in this world can I be Holy?" by Erwin W. Lutzer. During breaks from that one I started reading "The sayings of the desert fathers" Translated from Egyptian by Benedicta Ward. And for fun I'm reading "The fellowship of the ring" by J.R.R. Tolkien again. First thing in the morning... a few verses from the bible daily. Only the past few years did I get back into reading and am enjoying it very much.

        I just finished Kim Stanley Robinson's Forty Signs of Rain. I tried to read Salman Rushdie's Shalimar the Clown last month but couldn't get into it.

          "Operating Instructions, A Journal of My Son's First Year", by Anne Lamott. Great read for a (very) new parent like myself. She discusses topics and thoughts that will be familiar to anyone who has a baby in the house with great humor.

                  I love bibles and I own many. On that subject, you can get reference bibles for just about every topic. Which one appeals to you?

                    I buy used paper back books at thrift stores. That way I can get a bag full instead of just one new one. Cause I cheap.

                    I am reading "Out of Africa right" now.

                      I'm currently reading "Umi E" by Nagi Keishi. I just finished reading Kanehara Hitomi's "Hebi ni Piasu." Unfortunately, none of Nagi's or Kanehara's works have been translated into English, although both of them have won the Akutagawa Prize.

                        My main Bible is a New King James version and I have a pocket sized Gideon Bible that has a section in the front with topics and scriptural references. My next book to start is... The Christian Husband by Bob Lepine. The front cover says "God's vision for loving and caring for your wife". Sulu says I'm a great husband but I know I can get better at it so I keep on reading and learning.

                            I am currently reading a sci fi book called "A Fire Upon The Deep." by Vernor Vinge. It's about 613pages. In the story humans create this archivist world known as Straumli Realm and they go to live on it, and somehow they awaken an EVIL entity or some kind of perversion in the main system. The people know about it and plan a full evacuation and they bring with them a virus that can kill the pervision the only problem is the main system knows about it. During their escape two ships leave the Straumli Realm one being a ship of all the adults and another ship carrying boxes of children who are in cryogenic slumber. The ship with all the adults gets destroyed while the ship with the kids survive and crash lands on a world of Dogs who live in packs, in a midevil era with no technology. A brother and a sister who weren't in the cryo boxes are whisked away to seperate parts of the doggie world on opposing sides. Meanwhile the Archivist World is creating havoc on other systems and destroying worlds randomly. It searches for the other ship desperately to destroy the virus that could kill it. A ship in the heart of space carying two humans and two aliens, race against time to save the kids and to get the virus to destroy the Straumli Realm.
                            A Warrior does not give up on what he loves he finds the love in what he does.
