I say still Marching because I am STILL reading the same book that I have been reading for about a month already. It is called March and it is good, but not so compelling that I can't put it down - which in turn leads to several days going by at a time before I bother to pick it up again. But like I said - it's still good. Good enough to finish. And it is certainly the most challenging read I have read in oh, several years, now. For anyone who is curious...it is about the absent father's perspective and life events from the classic Little Women. And it won a Pulitzer Prize in 2006. Not too shabby.
Anyway...I am looking forward to finishing it eventually so I can get to some other books I have in the cue. (btw - I sure do miss that Unclaimed Baggage store in Alabama. I used to keep myself stocked, stocked, stocked with good books that were a steal of a deal from there.) Here is my list of books, sitting on my shelf, beckoning me to come read them:
Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers (recommended by Emily...and Heather too a long time back)
The Search for Significance by Robert S. McGee (recommended by Mas)
Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult (recommended by my mom)
World Without End by Ken Follett (recommended by my mom)
Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen by Susan Gregg Gilmore (recommended by Amy)
Potter Springs by Britta Coleman (recommended by Amy)
The Dark Queen by Susan Carol
A Call to Die by David Nassar

I wish I were a reader like you. I think I heard one time, the smartest people read a book a week or month. You must be BRILLIANT!! :) And I have to say, that although I am not a reader, I think I read Redeeming Love in less than a week and it has over 400 pages. I could hardly put it down. It's back when I was teaching and it would be 1 or 2 in the morning and Kore would wake up to still find me reading and make me go to bed! Great book. I've also read Search for Significance. Good book too! I'll have to put the other books on my list too.
Aha! After posting this, I got to a point in the book where I couldn't put it down...isn't that funny!
I finished the book today. :)
Redeeming Love... one of my favorite reads. And The Search for Significance has been "on my list" for more than 3 years now. Hmm... I wonder if this is the year I'll finally get around to reading it?
I have always been a huge reader, but with being so busy with Community Bible Study during the school year, I now do what I call my Summer Reading Program...I'll carry out stacks of books from the library every couple of weeks and keep my nose in one constantly over the summer months. But mind you, it's not what you'd call "deep" reading...after such intense Bible study all year, I need light and easy! However, Search for Significance is the book (I also took the course) that changed my life the most other than the Bible. A definite must-read book for all believers.
I do not see Twilight on this list.
