Winter Reading Challenge
From The Stacks
If you are anything like me your stack of purchased to-be-read books is teetering over. So for this challenge we would be reading 5 books that we have already purchased, have been meaning to get to, have been sitting on the nightstand and haven't read before. No going out and buying new books. No getting sidetracked by the lure of the holiday bookstore displays.
That describes me to a T. I seem to be getting a late start on the challenge and since the contest specified books I purchased I probably won't manage to wade through all the library books in time to read all the books I bought but here is my list.
- The Language of God by Francis S. Collins
- The Bible According to Mark Twain by Mark Twain (duh, who else)
- The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
- Anthem by Ayn Rand
- A Taste of Freedom by Tommie Thompson
Gotta go I have a ton of books to read.
