You'll never believe this... I can read!

So my friend "Corrie the book crazed girl" asked on her blog today, "What are you reading?" I am currently reading three books outside of my Intro to Criminal Justice class, and finished a good one a couple weeks ago. So this is what my reading list consists of:

Finished:
"Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield

Imagine the movie 300 only in a book. I was completely taken by this book at first. Very interesting and well written. It was a little slow around the middle, but I pressed on and then sped through the rest. The imagery in my head was intense while reading this. The blood and gore I read about was enough to give me a taste of PTSD. Just kidding, but seriously... It was that intense at points! It also interested me in watching a couple videos about Thermopylae.

Currently reading:

"The Good Wife's Guide" by Darlene Schacht
(Inspired my post about the domestic housewife)

Very good book so far. It is Christian based, but very honest and easy to read. I can't wait for the next chapter every time I have to set it down!

"The Story" foreword by Max Lucado and Randy Frazee

The greatest story in history, told so people like ME can understand it. Yes folks, it is the story of the Bible! Only arranged in chronological order and written modernly for our contemporary minds to learn from. The only never-out-of-date story is uplifting and the Word is given light into our everyday lives. We are reading this in our church, a chapter per week, but I keep reading ahead!

"The Warrior Ethos" by Steven Pressfield

This author is the bomb. He makes war beautiful and violence artistic. A must read for the military soul. Just started into it a week or so ago and I love it! Quick read, should be done in another half hour...

Thanks for rekindling my interest in books Magen, even though you probably didn't even know you did :) Check out her blog at www.corriethebookcrazedgirl.com
