The only part remaining in this entry is what my dear and crazy family is reading. Ever changing, our pile is always more than we can finish before we tromp back to the little brick library down the way. Our book lists, like yours, are a window into our educational and vocational interest, a peek into what woos our curiosities, and a glimpse at our passions. I will post our books soon.
All Over but the Shoutin' by Rick Bragg

Several Dr. Seuss books (personal note: The linked book is a collection of Suess, to simplify the entry, but it does not include my favorite: There's A Wocket in My Pocket! which we all knew by heart when my youngest was eighteen months old. We recited it together as we drove into Yosemite Valley when said son had a serious case of, "Aren't we there YET?" He ended up falling asleep with a smile on his lips (and a zamp in his lamp!) and we could enjoy the splendor of the valley in peace. Thanks, for the millionth time, Dr. Seuss.

A New Kind of Christian: A Tale of Two Friends on a Spiritual Journey by Brian D. McLaren
** Seen on the Amazon.com page, a title by the same author: A Generous Orthodoxy: Why I Am a Missional, Evangelical, Post/Protestant, Liberal/Conservative, Mystical/Poetic, Biblical, Charismatic/Contemplative, Fundamentalist/Calvinist, Anabaptist/Anglican, Methodist, Catholic, Green, Incarnational, Depressed-yet-Hopeful, Emergent, Unfinished CHRISTIAN by. The one thing I know about the author is he has a welcome sense of humor about spiritual issues. I just may have to check this one out, too. **

Ziglar on Selling
by Zig Ziglar
Cookbooks recommended by favorite reader Susan, who says, "My reading has been sketchy, but even when I don't read seriously, I find that I can't be without 'something' in my hand to read. In the bathroom that might be the shampoo bottle if I am desperate...I grab whatever is nearby - a newspaper or magazine, even a scrap of paper if need be." Based on our delightful correspondence during this blogging year, I would guess that Susan's "sketchy" reading is still reading at its best. Oh, the ingredients on shampoo bottles I read before we put our bookshelf in the restroom.
