i know i’ve been quiet this week, but i’ve been away, or simply wiped out from the heat wave… anyway… here’s a quick update that continues a daisy-chain that reached me from writer, editor, and cousin Jodi Whisenhunt… what is on my bookshelf?
1. How many books have you read so far in 2010?
Counting books that i’ve read exclusively in 2o1o, i’ve turned the pages of The Gospel According to Lost (Chris Seay), Saint (Ted DeKker), The Last Battle (CS Lewis), The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (CS Lewis), Plan B (Pete Wilson), Will the World End in 2012 (Raymond Hundley), and The Last Christian (David Gregory), which totals a pathetic seven… HOWEVER, i also FINISHED I Am America (And So Can You) (Stephen Colbert), Live from Middle America: Rants from a Red-State Comedian (Brad Stine), The Magician’s Nephew (CS Lewis), and The Silver Chair (CS Lewis), all of which i began between November and December of o9…
So, short answer, somewhere between seven and eleven books so far…
2. What percentage is fiction/ non-fiction?
It appears to be around 45% non-fiction, leaving 55% fiction.
3. What’s your favorite 2010 read so far?
I’ve really enjoyed reading some of the Narnia books to the littles (when they sit still long enough), but overall, I’ve been most taken in by a book I’m reading right now – Devil in the White City (Erik Larson) of which I’ll be writing more in the coming days…
4. What are you currently reading?
Besides the aforementioned, I’m currently reading: The Principle of the Path (Andy Stanley), Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Lewis Carroll), Hear No Evil (Matthew Paul Turner), Weird Ideas That Work (Robert Sutton), A Horse and His Boy (CS Lewis), and i’m listening to the audiobook for Stuff Christians Like (Jonathan Acuff)…
5. What’s at the top of your to-be-read pile?
at the very top… The Jesus You Can’t Ignore (John MacArthur) and Chosen (Ted DeKker) – followed closely by the rest of DeKker’s “Lost Books”…
