Jan. 10, 2007 - Reading...

It's snowing here again today.  This kind of day always makes me want to curl up under my cozy down comforter with a cup of hot tea and a good book.  Mmmm...  

I've decided to keep track of all the books I read in 2007.  Here's what's happening so far in the reading department: 

Just finished:  Forgiven  ~Karen Kingsbury

Christian fiction.  Quick read.  Kingsbury is no Francine Rivers (who is a favorite Christian fiction author of mine), but... still good.

Now reading:  House Divided  ~Ben Ames Williams

This is a 1500-page novel about the Civil War, copyright 1947.  I am about 1100 pages into it,  and it's very good.  There was just one section of the book that was tedious-- I got a little bogged down in all the details of a particular battle, so I did do a bit of skimming, but it was only about 100 pages.  Other than that one section (which would be my husband's favorite part of the book), I am really enjoying this book.  Great character development.

Next up:   Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology  ~Eric Brende

I can't wait to read this one.  MIT grad Eric Brende and his wife move to a community for eighteen months and do without a car, stove, refrigerator and running water.  And he writes all about it here.

What are you reading?
