Summer Reading List

This was going to be a summer reading list until I started actually listing out all these books sitting on my nightstand and realized I might need a little more time. So maybe let's call this a summer into fall (and possibly winter) reading list. That way I can add to it without stressing myself out like a grad student with a thesis deadline looming.

Here they are in no particular order:

Simply Christian NT Wright
Who gets to Narrate the world? Robert E. Webber
Brave New World Aldous Huxley (reread of an old favorite)
A Map of the World Jane Hamilton
Branding Faith Phil Cooke
Twelve Golden Threads Aliske Webbe (recommended by my Grandma)
Kite Runner Khaled Hosseini
The Challenge of Jesus NT Wright
Ancient-Future Worship Robert E. Webber
Dubliners James Joyce
The Son Rises William Lane Craig
Following Jesus NT Wright
The New Testament and the People of God NT Wright (are you noticing a theme - I went on a bit of buying spree for NT Wright books a while ago. Amazon=dangerous)
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius Dave Eggers
Nine Stories JD Salinger (another reread of a favorite)
Blue Shoe Anne LaMott
The Power of Prayer in a Believer's Life Charles Sturgeon
1984 George Orwell (another reread - I realize this list would be shorter without the rereads but I haven't read some of these in a while and I miss them)
The Search for Significance Robert S. McGee
Saving Fish from Drowning Amy Tan
Memoirs of a Geisha Arthur Golden
Brave Men Ernie Pyle
The Tender Bar JR Moehringer
The Happiness Hypothesis Jonathan Haidt
Angels and Demons Dan Brown (another reread - want to read again BEFORE I see the movie)

Also tempted by
Crazy Love Francis Chan
Don Quixote Miguel De Cervantes (haven't read this since college, maybe I'm ready)
The Five Love Languages Gary Chapman (worth all the hype I wonder?)

As you can see, this is quite a list for someone who also has a job. Oh, and that whole training for a triathlon thing. Except that what is summer without a good dose of days just laying around reading.

Anyone (and by that I mean you Katie and Holly, my only readers) want to do a book club thing or maybe even just read a review if I write one? Yah, book reports! Please tell me someone else loved these as much as I did.
