Books, books, and more books.

This previous nine weeks I've read Gone with the Wind, The Hunter Games Trilogy, and of course, Brave New World. But this next nine weeks I'd really like to read Jesus Freaks, which is about the lives of some seriously dedicated Christians, and should be extremely inspirational. I'd also like to read the Lord of the Ring series, because the movies were awesome, and it is also based on Christianity. It was suggested that I read the Wrinkle in Time series, and I remember reading it a really long time ago, and thinking it was pretty good. My friend Emily says there are some Christian themes apparent in that series as well. Picking up on a pattern? I'd also like to read The Hunt for Red October, partially because the movie was amazing, and also because it covers an important part in America's history. I'm currently reading Seabuscuit, and if I can find a book on Secretariat, I'd like to read that as well. I probably wont be able to read all of these books this nine-weeks, but stretch it out over the rest of the year. And if I get the chance, I'd like to reread Mark of the Lion Trilogy by Francine Rivers.

  1. That's a great list. You might also enjoy Chronicles of Narnia: C.S. Lewis was Christian, converted from atheism, and the books have major Christian themes.

  2. I've read all of The Chronicles of Narnia. It's one of my favorite series. :)

    The person who introduced C.S. Lewis to Christ was the author of Lord of the Rings, ironically enough.
