I'm a Book Nerd!

That's right. A book nerd. I have no shame in saying it. Sometimes on a friday or saturday night there's nothing I'd rather do than read. I've also become a huge C.S. Lewis fan! The man can write!

I'm currently reading the book "Miracles" by him, which is a logical and phisophical argument for Miracles and evidence supporting the existence of the supernatural, specifically in reference to the resurrection. I've already got 5 books in the queue for 2007. (Two of them which have been lent/given to me by Geoff. If you're reading this Geoff, you're the man.) . The list goes, in no particular order:

  1. The Unquenchable Worshipper - Matt Redman
  2. The Wealthy Barber - David Chilton
  3. The Automatic Millionaire - David Bach
  4. Mere Christianity - C.S. Lewis
  5. For one more day - Mitch Albom
My sister gave me "For one more day", which I'm interested to read. Mitch Albom did very well with "Tuesday's With Morrie." "The Wealthy Barber" is actually a book I gave to my brother for Christmas last year and he highly recommended that I read it. For this year, the theme of practical financial advice continued when I got him "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". And I've actually read "Mere Christianity" already, but its a book I want to read again and go further indepth.

I hope all of you had a fantastic Christmas!

Let me know if you have any books you'd recommend.

Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller
(a honest and interesting perspective about faith and God)
Blindness by Jose Sara-something or another
(one of the best books I've ever read)
Count of Monte Cristo by Andre Dumas (a classic and one of my favourites)
Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Mcguire (the book I'm currently reading. he also wrote Wicked which was then adapated to be a musical)
