So Many Books, So Much Unemployed Time (in two weeks. probably.)
My internship with Family Life is over about two weeks from today. I don’t yet have plans about what I’m doing next. Other than finishing the 6th season of LOST (if I haven’t already), and reading a lot of books.
I have a list of just over 15 books that I want to read. I’m gonna post them here, and if you’ve heard of/read/want to recommend any of them to me, please do!
- Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life - Anne Lamott
- Culture Making – Andy Crouch
- Hear No Evil: My Story of Innocence, Music and the Holy Ghost – Matthew Paul Turner
- Imaginary Jesus - Matt Mikalatos
- The Things They Carried – Tim O’Brien
- The Unlikely Disciple – Kevin Roose
- Rediscovering Values – Jim Wallis
- The Value of Nothing – Raj Patel
- Three Cups of Tea – Greg Mortenson
- A People’s History of the United States – Howard Zinn
- Oh The Glory of it All – Sean Wilsey
- Eating Animals – Jonathan Saffron Foer
- Infinite Jest - David Foster Wallace
- The Good Man Jesus and The Scoundrel Christ - Phillip Pullman
- How We Decide - Jonah Lehrer
- Can We Be Good Without God? A Conversation About Truth, Morality, Culture, & a Few Other Things That Matter - Paul Chamberlain
I’m sort of resolving to only read books that I can’t put down – compelling stories – so keep that in mind if/when you chime in. I’ll post here when I start reading some of these and letcha know what I think!
